Diolch, Ddirprwy Lywydd. I’d like to also congratulate our Welsh athletes who’ve made our nation so proud. This really is a golden age for Welsh sport and that shows again the winning mentality that we have in Wales. It’s interesting that there was a gap between the 1972 Olympics and the 2008 Olympics where not a single Welsh person won a medal. That was 36 years. But since Beijing, the medals keep coming home to Wales and it’s so important now that we continue to build on that success.

With that in mind, I’d like to follow up on some of the points that we spoke about last time in this Chamber. Firstly, your office should have now had a formal invitation to come and meet me and the kids in Grangetown who can’t afford to play sport there, and it really does sadden me to see empty sports pitches with children who want to play on them but don’t have the money to do so. I’m also told by parents that it costs £450 now for their child to represent Cardiff and Vale schools. You may know that Wales’s first Olympic gold medallist, Paulo Radmilovic, came from Cardiff. His parents ran the Bute Dock Tavern, just down the road on Bute Street, and he went on to win four Olympic gold medals. So, I’d like to arrange this visit as soon as possible so that, in future, Grangetown and their neighbours in Butetown, can again celebrate their own future Olympian.

I’d also like to invite you again to maybe think about how we can celebrate Billy Boston, another great sportsman from the docks, as we used to say back in the day, and went on to be the record try scorer in rugby league. I think it would be really good if this Government, the Assembly and Cardiff council could celebrate that.

I’d like to revisit the Government’s failure to bid for the Commonwealth Games, because it’s interesting that you state that Welsh athletes are now setting their sights on the Gold Coast Commonwealth Games in 18 months’ time. Because, in a very short-sighted decision, your Government has turned its back on the chance for us to bring the games home to Wales. The last time we spoke, you said that local authorities were unable to contribute to the costs of the games at this stage. So, I put in a freedom of information request to ask what official correspondence you’ve had with local authorities on the Commonwealth Games and the result came back and it stated, and I’ll quote this:

‘No formal requests or enquiries have been made by Welsh Government to local authorities for financial contributions to the 2026 Commonwealth Games.’

You may remember the Tony Blair who, I’m sure, remains something of a hero to many of you on the Government side of the Chamber. He was accused of running a sofa Government. Blair came in for stinging criticism for his informal decision making in the Butler report, where the lack of minuted meetings meant that the decision-making process could not be held up to proper scrutiny after the event. All this sounds very familiar to how this Labour Government is being run in Cardiff—
