I thank the Counsel General for that response, and I welcome him to his new role, of course, by saying that I’m looking forward to five years of asking questions of him, as I asked of his predecessor.

Among those priorities, how important does the Government of the Counsel General consider the fact that the European convention on human rights is part of Welsh law through Welsh legislation? Of course, there is some mention that the Westminster Government will replace that with some sort of bill of rights that will be a lot more ambiguous. Is it the Government’s intention to defend the fact that the convention is part of the law and is a foundation of how we work here in the Assembly?
