Thank you, Deputy Presiding Officer. Members will be aware that, in my recent oral statement, I set out the Welsh Government support for the armed forces community in Wales. Good progress is being made across all of Wales in supporting our armed forces community, and I believe that if we continue to work collaboratively with our partners, sharing resources and best practice, we can build on the success. Can I also pay tribute—they are not in the title of the debate—to the families, partners and children of the armed forces personnel who often get forgotten about in terms of the support that they need? This is something that I’m very keen to make sure that this Government looks at—the holistic support for the families of the armed forces.

I agree and I’m pleased that point 1 of the motion notes the centenary of the three momentous battles of the first world war. Collectively, the battles of Somme, Mametz Wood and Jutland led to the sacrifice of huge numbers of Welsh soldiers to protect the freedom that we have today, and they should not be forgotten.
