Part of the debate – in the Senedd at 4:35 pm on 1 May 2024.
Diolch, Deputy Llywydd. I haven't got long, but I just want to thank the Minister for that statement that you've given to the Senedd this afternoon, but it's come as the result of an opposition debate to get a statement out of the Government on this important issue. My colleague, Laura Anne Jones, has raised this in the Senedd Chamber, I think two or three times, without a tangible response from the Government. It's not a good way to govern, Minister, if it has to take an opposition debate to get a statement from the Government on such an important issue that affects the lives of children here in Wales, and I hope that, along with the contributions from Laura Anne Jones and Sam Rowlands this afternoon, will be enough to command the support of our motion, unamended, in tonight’s vote. Thank you.
