Questions For - First Minister
In light of the Welsh Government's declaration of a climate emergency, will the First Minister outline his plans for the government-owned Cardiff Airport?
The Welsh Government will continue to support Cardiff Airport’s successful efforts to reduce the environmental impact if its operations, including the 15 per cent reduction in carbon emissions during 2018.
Will the First Minister make a statement on the development of an agricultural policy for North Wales?
Through 'Brexit and our land' the Welsh Government is developing a comprehensive modern agricultural policy to benefit all of Wales, which will encourage resilience, sustainability and prosperity. Agricultural businesses in north Wales are well placed to benefit from the existing and new support schemes.
What impact will the declared climate emergency have on plans to expand the public transport network to benefit Cardiff Central?
A range of actions to tackle transport emissions across Cardiff Central are being implemented. These include the investment in active travel routes and the south Wales metro. In 'Prosperity for All: A Low Carbon Wales', we aim for a zero emission bus and taxi fleet by 2028.
Will the First Minister make a statement on the impact of economic austerity on the Welsh economy?
If our budget had grown in line with the UK economy since 2010, we would have £4 billion more to invest in public services, infrastructure and economy. A decade of austerity has seen Wales on the wrong end of UK Government decisions that have had a direct impact on our economy.
