Asked by: David Chadwick (Liberal Democrat - Brecon, Radnor and Cwm Tawe) Thursday 15th May 2025 Question to the Department for Work and Pensions: To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what estimate her Department has made of the (a) number of (i) Carer’s Allowance and (ii) carer element recipients who will lose their eligibility in Wales by the 2029-30 financial year and (b) the cost to the public purse of these changes; and what assessment her Department has made of the potential impact of eligibility changes on carers in poverty.

Independent Water Commission
Asked by: David Chadwick (Liberal Democrat - Brecon, Radnor and Cwm Tawe) Wednesday 21st May 2025 Question to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs: To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, if he will bring forward legislative proposals to reflect the findings of the Water Commission. Answered by Emma Hardy - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs) The Independent Water Commission, led by Sir Jon Cunliffe, will recommend reforms to reset the water sector regulatory system and is expected to form the largest review of the industry since privatisation. It is considering a wide range of areas, as set out in the Commission’s Call for Evidence.
The Commission will report later in summer 2025 with recommendations to the UK and Welsh Governments to help restore our rivers, lakes and seas to good health, meet the challenges of the future and contribute to economic growth.
These recommendations are expected to form the basis of further legislation to attract long-term investment and clean up our waters for good. |

South Wales Main Line: Electrification
Asked by: David Chadwick (Liberal Democrat - Brecon, Radnor and Cwm Tawe) Thursday 22nd May 2025 Question to the Department for Transport: To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what recent estimate she has made of the total cost of the electrification of the remainder of the South Wales mainline. Answered by Lilian Greenwood - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Transport) No recent cost estimates have been made by Network Rail for electrification of the South Wales Mainline, with the last available information dating from 2017. With bi-mode trains offering comparable journey times regardless of whether operating in diesel or electric mode, it is expected that any business case for electrification of this route would be very weak.

North Wales Coast Line: Electrification
Asked by: David Chadwick (Liberal Democrat - Brecon, Radnor and Cwm Tawe) Thursday 22nd May 2025 Question to the Department for Transport: To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what recent estimate she has made of the total cost of the electrification of the North Wales mainline. Answered by Lilian Greenwood - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Transport) The government has not made any recent estimate of the cost of electrification of the North Wales Mainline. It is more than ten years since Network Rail were last asked to consider the electrification of this line. That work would need to be fully refreshed, taking account of current electrification technologies. |
