What assessment has the Welsh Government made of the impact on fuel poverty of the conflict in the Middle East?

The impact on global fuel prices is being felt most acutely by households dependent on heating oil. Today I set out how we are using our own budgets this year to immediately increase support to people facing financial crisis, including uplifting the financial assistance that can be provided for off-grid fuel while prices are inflated.

What discussions has the Cabinet Secretary had with the Cabinet Secretary for Economy, Energy and Planning on establishing a national military museum for Wales?

Whilst I recognise the importance of Wales's military history, work to explore the establishment of a new national military museum was not within our programme for government and has not been taken forward this Senedd term. However, several of the existing regimental museums in Wales have benefited from our support.

Will the Cabinet Secretary make a statement on the reversal of the default 20mph speed limit in some areas?

The primary goal of the default 20 mph speed limit is to save lives and reduce casualties on our roads. Indications are that the policy is achieving this goal. Local authorities have taken on board feedback from the public and have or are in the process of changing speed limits on some roads.
