Broadband: Wales
Asked by: Ann Davies (Plaid Cymru - Caerfyrddin) Wednesday 5th March 2025 Question to the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport: To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, what recent estimate she has made of the number of households in Wales without a high-speed broadband connection; and what assessment she has made of the potential impact of internet only TV distribution on those households. Answered by Stephanie Peacock - Parliamentary Under Secretary of State (Department for Culture, Media and Sport) Thinkbroadband estimates that, as of 24 February 2025, 97.5% of premises in Wales can access a superfast (30 Mbps and faster) connection, which in many cases is likely to be sufficient for those wishing to watch online. In addition, they estimate that 79.6% of premises in Wales can access a gigabit connection. These higher speeds are likely to provide for the best viewing experiences. Parliament has already legislated to secure the continuity of digital terrestrial television until at least 2034. DCMS is currently undertaking a project to evaluate the future distribution of television as the sector continues to evolve over the next decade. Before any decision is made in relation to the availability of services beyond 2034, close consideration will be given to how any changes would impact audiences, and especially those who rely on digital terrestrial television as their primary means of watching television.

Answered by Stephanie Peacock - Parliamentary Under Secretary of State (Department for Culture, Media and Sport) The Government’s project on the future of TV distribution is seeking to understand how people receive their television now and in the next decade. As part of this process, a wide range of views are being sought. Membership of the Stakeholder Forum includes a range of broadcasters active in Wales, including the Welsh-language broadcaster S4C, the BBC and ITV. The forum also benefits from the perspectives of a number of groups representing the interests of Welsh and UK-wide audiences, such as Voice of the Listener and Viewer, Digital Poverty Alliance and Silver Voices. |

Coal: Mining
Asked by: Ann Davies (Plaid Cymru - Caerfyrddin) Wednesday 26th February 2025 Question to the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero: To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, pursuant to the Answer of 13 February 2025 to Question 30533 on Coal: Mining, whether his Department has plans to ban licences on remaining coal tips. Answered by Michael Shanks - Parliamentary Under Secretary of State (Department for Energy Security and Net Zero) The recovery of coal from former coal tips does not require licenses from the Mining Remediation Authority, formerly the Coal Authority. The majority of coal tips are in local authority or private ownership which includes legal responsibilities for their safety. Local authorities are the primary authority for coal recovery schemes from tips through planning permission and enforcement.

10 Mar 2025
Farming in Wales in 2025: Challenges and Opportunities Welsh Affairs Committee (Select) Submit Evidence (by 14 Apr 2025) Wales has a long tradition of farming, and the sector is integral to the Welsh economy. In 2022, agriculture, fishing and forestry accounted for 1.8% of total employment in Wales and over 90% of the land area of Wales is utilised for farming. Our predecessor Committee reported that in 2020, the gross output of agriculture in Wales was worth £1.7 billion to the Welsh economy, with agriculture comprising 1% of the total Gross Value Added for Wales. Agriculture is devolved to the Welsh Government, and the items related to agriculture that are reserved to the UK Government are:
With these reserved competencies in mind, the Committee is inviting written submissions by 14 April 2025. These should focus on: 1. Within the scope of its reserved responsibilities, what support is the UK Government providing to the Welsh farming sector and what support from the UK Government does the sector require? 2. What is the potential impact of the UK Government’s proposed inheritance tax reforms on farms in Wales? 3. What is the potential impact of the UK Government’s decision to replace the ring-fenced funding for agriculture with ‘Barnettised’ agricultural funding for farms in Wales? 4. How has the UK’s withdrawal from the European Union affected farms in Wales? 5. How has the export market for Welsh agricultural goods evolved since the UK’s withdrawal from the European Union? a. Do farms in Wales currently have access to the skilled and seasonal labour they need? b. WHat could the UK Government's proposed 'UK-EU reset' achieve for the farming sector in Wales? |
