Happy New Year !

Happy New Year to everyone.

My website www.brynlewilliams.com is full of information about what I am up to in North Wales and Cardiff.

This will replace my online blog.

Hope you will find the website of interest.

Debate Day : COMBATING THE ILLEGAL MEAT TRADE

I am leading a debate this afternoon in the Assembly entitled "Combating the Illegal Meat Trade".

Have had 2 interviews with the BBC on this issue, and I am looking forward to hearing the Ministers comments in response to my contribution. Watch this space !

Typical Busy Tuesday !

Hit the ground running this morning!

Left North Wales very early to be in Cardiff by Mid Morning. Started with a Staff Meeting, then another meeting with the Countryside Alliance, after that discussions with my staff regarding constituency work and speeches and questions in the Chamber this week.

Next - a reception for the Countryside Protection of Rural Wales : Off Road Motoring. This was a very useful meeting.

Then down to the Chamber......

Surgery !

Held a joint surgery with British Gas today. Found out a lot about their Here to Help Scheme. If someone is claiming any form of benefit, they can have free insulation in their properties. There is also a scheme for people not on benefit. They can claim a considerable discount for insulation and associated improvements for the house.

BBC Interview

Had an interview with the BBC today for a programme called Taro Law. It was with regard to new building regulations introduced to reduce the levels of radon gas. I believe Flintshire County Council is one of the first Councils in Wales to put these regulations in place.

Civic Service and Lunch in Ruthin Castle

My wife and I attended a Civic Service and Lunch in Ruthin Castle which was most enjoyable. The service was very uplifting, and it gave me an opportunity to talk to a lot of people from the local area.

Meeting people is one of my favourite roles as an AM.

Another Day in the Assembly

Had an Environment Planning and Countryside Meeting this morning.

Did a live interview with HTV Wales on ponies.

Met a colleague for lunch and discussed questions, speeches and forthcoming meetings with my staff.

Have 4 supplementary questions this afternoon in plenary.

Assembly Day!

Travelling back today for plenary session in the National Assembly for Wales.

Have a speech to deliver on TB and some supplementary questions, including my own question on dentists in North Wales.

Sent a press release out about on TB.
