2. Legislative Consent Memorandum: Tobacco and Vapes Bill (2024 - 2025)

<p>Absolutely. So, one of the very first meetings that I had was with the Minister, Andrew Gwynne, and it was wonderful—just absolutely coming from the same perspective on this. Instantly, it was like, 'We have got so much to learn from Wales. Can we come and see how you've managed to roll out some of the bans that you already have in Wales, and see how they have worked, and show people that this is a positive thing?' So, that's always been wonderful. There has been a tremendous amount of acknowledgement and respect, I would say, for what we have achieved here in Wales through the Senedd.</p>
<p>Also, we have just been working really collaboratively all the way through. My officials meet with UK Government officials on a regular basis, and it is absolutely the intention that the UK nations carry on working jointly as we implement this. So, I see this as being something that, again, is going to be transformative and is going to make a huge difference to generations. I'm very confident that we will be able to achieve that smoke-free generation, which actually was, initially, very much promoted by the previous Prime Minister, Rishi Sunak.</p>

1. Questions to the Cabinet Secretary for Transport and North Wales

<p>Well, the announcement by Rishi Sunak very shortly before the UK general election came as quite a shock to not just us, because we hadn’t been engaged in the process of determining that particular announcement and the figures around it, but it came as a shock to the Department for Transport itself and to Network Rail, who were never asked to actually commence any work on it. I rather fear that that promise was made as a panic response to the polls that were being published at the time that showed that there’d be a landslide defeat, which eventually occurred. I think, based on his announcement, it probably is more likely that you’d be able to land on the moon in a bathtub than see electrification delivered under the Tories with their false promise.</p>
<p>Instead, what we have got is an agreed pipeline, through the Wales rail board, of enhancements to north Wales. It forms the top of the list of enhancements. And that comprises of north Wales main line improvements, which are starting this year—they’re starting this year; it includes the borderlands line to deliver the metro services that Janet Finch-Saunders has kindly asked for and which we will deliver; it also includes upgrades to stations and includes new stations; and, crucially, it includes resolving the capacity challenges at Chester, because that’s preventing us from running more services in and out of north Wales. That’s the list; it’s been agreed by the DfT, and now we’re going to deliver it.</p>

1. Questions to the Cabinet Secretary for Transport and North Wales

<p>Thank you, Cabinet Secretary. I note that, earlier in your response, you said that there was a lack of investment from Network Rail, but this is nothing new. This goes back to 1966—the people of north Wales have been waiting for electrification of the line, and we’ve seen investment—significant investment—in our railway lines across the UK, in terms of the TransPennine Express, HS2, and the Oxford-to-Cambridge line, and some of those being announced by Rachel Reeves. And, previously, Rishi Sunak, before the general election, promised to spend £1 billion on the electrification of the north Wales line. So, can you outline how you’re prioritising transport infrastructure in the north and clarify what representations you are making to the UK Government, with your party colleagues now, in respect of rail infrastructure in north Wales, which is significantly lagging behind other areas that have been the priority of the Chancellor of the Exchequer quite recently?</p>

6. Welsh Conservatives Debate: New UK Government's first six months

<p>I'm sure that's a great comfort to Darren Millar, because the last Tory leader that Tom supported didn't end so well, and he had quite a hand in it, as I recall. This is like being stuck in a bad sixth-form debate, Dirprwy Lywydd. Clearly, the Conservatives have learned nothing, but clearly morale is very low and this is designed this afternoon to gee them up a little bit.</p>
<p>It's worth remembering January 2025 was when we could have had a general election; it was the last date the Conservative Government could have called an election. They could have stayed in office until this month. And the reason they didn't is because they'd run out of puff, because Rishi Sunak was facing yet another challenge from his backbenches, the letters were going in yet again to the 1922 committee to challenge him. He had just announced spending plans that he had no way of funding. The&nbsp;Resolution Foundation said that, if Jeremy Hunt had had to give another budget, they'd have to find £20 billion they simply didn't have.</p>
<p>It's worth reminding ourselves, because this is only six months ago, what a horror story we have lived through for 15 years, of a Conservative Party at war with each other, embarrassing our country and making us a laughing stock abroad—[<em>Interruption.</em>]—to the point that their denial extends to Liz Truss sending a legal letter—</p>
