Railways: Wales
Asked by: Ann Davies (Plaid Cymru - Caerfyrddin) Thursday 30th January 2025 Question to the Department for Transport: To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what assessment she has made of the potential impact of increasing the electrification of the rail network in Wales to the same level as England on rail journey times in Wales. Answered by Simon Lightwood - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Transport) Electrification of the rail network is one of a number of factors, including timetables, rolling stock and possible infrastructure works, which can improve journeys. The Wales Rail Board is responsible for assessing and recommending rail investments to support improved services and deliver Net Zero decarbonisation obligations, working in partnership with the two governments and the transport industry.

Agriculture: Food Supply
Asked by: Ann Davies (Plaid Cymru - Caerfyrddin) Friday 31st January 2025 Question to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs: To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what recent steps his Department has taken to support farm-to-fork initiatives on publicly-owned land. Answered by Daniel Zeichner - Minister of State (Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs) The Government recently announced a series of reforms for delivering on the Government’s New Deal for Farmers including backing British produce by monitoring food currently bought in the public sector and where it is bought from this will make it easier for British farmers to win a share of the £5 billion spent each year on public sector catering contracts.
The Government also announced how it would boost profitability through fair competition across the supply chain. New rules for the pig sector will come this spring, ensuring contracts clearly set out expectations and changes can only be made if agreed by all parties. Similar regulations for eggs and fresh produce sectors will follow with the Government ready to intervene with other sectors if needed. |

Food: Prices
Asked by: Ann Davies (Plaid Cymru - Caerfyrddin) Friday 31st January 2025 Question to the Department of Health and Social Care: To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether her Department has plans to take steps to help lower the price of healthy food. Answered by Andrew Gwynne Steps to improve the affordability, availability, and accessibility of healthy foods are being considered as part of both the Child Poverty Strategy, due to be published in spring, as well as the Department for Environment Food and Rural Affairs-led Food Strategy, for which further updates will be released in due course. The Government is committed to increasing access to healthy foods for vulnerable populations by rolling out free breakfast clubs at all primary schools. This also supports free school meals, where under current programmes, 2.1 million of the most disadvantaged school pupils are registered to receive benefits-related free school meals, and a further 90,000 students in further education receive free lunches on the basis of low family income. Also, approximately 1.3 million infant pupils in reception, year one and year two, receive free lunches as part of the universal infant free school meals policy. We also have schemes to support those on low incomes such as Healthy Start, which reached over 354,000 vulnerable people in December 2024. Healthy Start supports a healthy diet for pregnant women, babies, and young children under four years old from very low-income households by providing vouchers for fresh, frozen, or tinned fruit and vegetables, fresh, dried, and tinned pulses, milk, and infant formula. Healthy Start beneficiaries also have access to free Healthy Start vitamins for pregnant and breastfeeding women, and children aged under four years old. |

5 Feb 2025
Prisons, Probation and Rehabilitation in Wales Welsh Affairs Committee (Select) Not accepting submissions Criminal justice in Wales exists within a unique policy environment, with prisons, probation and rehabilitation reserved to the UK Government, and key intersecting services like health, education and housing devolved to the Welsh Government.
Wales is also unique in that, despite having five adult male prison facilities and a young offender institution, it has no prison for adult women.
This inquiry is looking at the challenges and opportunities that are presented by this unique constitutional arrangement, examining where the UK and Welsh Governments are working well together, as well as identifying areas for improvement.
It will also consider the UK Government’s recent criminal justice policy initiatives, assessing the extent to which they have been tailored to meet the needs of Welsh offenders.
The Committee invites written submissions addressing any or all of the following areas:
