Member Debates: Selection of Motions for Debate Minutes: Business Committee
considered the motions tabled and agreed to schedule the following motion for
debate on 11 May: NNDM7994 Alun Davies Co-submitters Rhun Ap Iorwerth Samuel Kurtz Jane Dodds To propose that the
Senedd: 1. Notes that this
year is the 90th anniversary of the Holodomor: the famine which killed an
estimated 4-6 million people in Ukraine over 1932/33. 2. Further notes
that this famine was the consequence of the deliberate actions and policies of
the Soviet Union. 3. Expresses its
sympathy and extends its solidarity to the people of Ukraine on behalf of the
people of Wales. 4. Calls on the
Welsh Government to initiate a commemoration programme to remember the victims
of the Holodomor and to raise awareness of the suffering of the people of
Ukraine. Business Committee
also agreed to schedule the following motion for debate on 25 May: NNDM7964 Jack Sargeant To propose that the
Senedd: 1. Notes: a) that the Welsh
Government was the first in the world to declare a climate emergency,
recognising the serious threat climate change poses; b) that public
sector pension schemes continue to invest in fossil fuels and, for many years,
campaigners have urged schemes to disinvest; c) that the Welsh
pension partnership moved quickly to withdraw investment from Russian holdings
and has previously divested from coal, thus demonstrating that it is possible
for pension funds to make these decisions; d) that Members of
the Senedd took the initiative to divest their own pension funds from fossil
fuels; e) that if public
sector pension schemes in Wales disinvest, Wales would be the first nation in
the world to achieve this, demonstrating to fund providers the need to create
fossil fuel free investment products; 2. Calls on the
Welsh Government to work with the public sector to agree a strategy to
decarbonise pensions by 2030, thus bringing them into line with current public
sector net-zero targets. |

Review of Standing Order 34 and remote participation in Plenary: proposed approach Minutes: Business Committee agreed the proposed
terms of reference and approach to evidence gathering for the review, including
that it should consider both the status of provisions currently contained
within Standing Order 34
(Emergency Procedures) and continuation of remote participation in Senedd
proceedings in the medium-term before summer recess. Business Committee also
agreed that the longer-term position in relation to remote participation and
voting, including for future Senedd terms, should be subject to further
consideration and consultation later in this Senedd term. |
