I rather fear that, if they did remove the European flag in some places, they could be discarded and then considered litter in the streets, and then we might have politicians accusing immigrants of doing it. [Laughter.] I’d welcome the Member’s warm embrace of the national spirit that we feel the length and breadth of Wales, and, other than to say I would encourage all public buildings to have the Welsh flag hoisted above them, I would just like to point out as well, with regard to Russell George’s comments about safety, that we are in regular contact with the Foreign and Commonwealth Office regarding the threat of terrorism, and the need to maintain the best behaviour of fans at matches. I would encourage all fans to check regularly with the Foreign and Commonwealth Office website. There is a headline section called ‘Be on the Ball’ on the website, and I’d encourage all fans travelling to France to take close notice of that.
