That this House celebrates the 70th anniversary of Noddfa Community Centre in Caernarfon, Gwynedd, first opened as a chapel by Sister Emily Roberts to serve the people of Ysgubor Goch; recognises the centre’s longstanding contribution to the well-being and social cohesion of the Peblig community since its establishment in 1956; further recognises that throughout the 1960s and 1970s Noddfa hosted pioneering youth clubs, adult learning classes and one of the earliest Welsh medium playgroups in the town, becoming a cornerstone of grassroots cultural activity during a time of rapid social change; pays tribute to the generations of volunteers, staff and local residents whose dedication has ensured that Noddfa remains a welcoming and inclusive space for people of all ages, offering religious comfort, practical advice and a listening ear; acknowledges the centre’s vital role in providing activities, support services, educational programmes and a safe gathering place for local groups; commends its ongoing work to promote Welsh language and culture, strengthen community resilience and reduce social isolation and poverty; and wishes Noddfa Community Centre every success for the decades ahead as it continues to serve the people of Caernarfon.

That this House expresses deep concern over the potential closure of Caernarfon Post Office, as part of the organisation’s cost-cutting plan to shut directly owned Crown branches; regrets that the needs of customers and staff are being overlooked at a time when the Post Office should be working to restore trust and public confidence; acknowledges that a petition calling for the retention of over-the-counter services in Caernarfon has received considerable support from local residents and businesses; notes that such rural branches serve a wide area, and that travelling further afield can be difficult due to the lack of public transport infrastructure; recognises the over-the-counter services provided by the Caernarfon branch are essential in the context of high levels of digital exclusion and the closure of other face-to-face services including high street banking; further notes the crucial provision of Welsh-medium services by the branch in Caernarfon, which is a predominantly Welsh-speaking community; and urges the UK Government to compel the rethink of planned closures to ensure individuals in rural areas do not lose access to vital Post Office services.

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, what the average waiting time is between an appeal being accepted by Her Majesty's Courts and Tribunals Service and an appeal hearing being held in Caernarfon.
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, what the average waiting time is between an appeal being accepted by Her Majesty's Courts and Tribunals Service and an appeal hearing being held in Caernarfon.
The average waiting time1 for Social Security and Child Support (SSCS) appeals in the Caernarfon2 venue between April 2017 and December 2017 (the latest period for which figures are available) is 35p weeks.
In order to respond to increased appeal receipts, HM Courts & Tribunals Service has been working with the Tribunalâs judiciary to both appoint additional judges and panel members and take forward initiatives with potential to increase the capacity and performance of the Tribunal, including reviewing current listing practices to increase the number of cases being listed on a Tribunal session, and introducing case management âtriageâ sessions, with the aim of reducing the time taken for appeals to reach final determination.
- Waiting time is interpreted as average Clearance Time â time taken for appeal receipt to outcome. Includes both appeals cleared at Tribunal hearing and those cleared without the need of a Tribunal hearing.
- SSCS data are recorded by the office that dealt with the case, and if the case went to oral hearing, the location of the Tribunal hearing, normally the hearing venue nearest to the appellants home address. These data include all cases attributed to the Caernarfon venue
- Provisional data, which will be reconciled when the annual statistics are published and are therefore subject to change
Although care is taken when processing and analysing the data, the details are subject to inaccuracies inherent in any large-scale case management system and are the best data that are available.

It is too early to say what the long term future of the Caernarfon Territorial Army (TA) centre site or any other redundant sites may be. Once vacated by the TA, the site, including any tied housing, will be handed over to the Defence Infrastructure Organisation (DIO) in line with departmental procedures. The DIO will then see if there is any wider Ministry of Defence (MOD) use for the site, followed by wider Government use and, if no such use is found, finally place it for sale on the open market.
The effects of the Army Reserves basing announcement may affect the working arrangements of civilian staff. We do not yet know the fine detail of these changes, nor the definite time scale of implementation, but staff will be informed at the earliest possible opportunity. Staff affected by the changes will be managed in line with MOD policy.

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence what assessment he has made of the effect on the local economy of the decision to close Caernarfon barracks.

The decision for the Army Reserve to vacate this site was driven by the Army's need to consolidate a Platoon of D Company, 3rd Battalion the Royal Welsh at Caernarfon with its Company Headquarters in Colwyn Bay 29 miles away.
Planning will now take place with the Defence Infrastructure Organisation and the Reserve Forces and Cadets Association to assess the future of the site, including how to meet the enduring requirements of any Cadet or lodger units.
The impact of this move on the local economy is unlikely to be significant given the small number of users affected.
