This approach has paid dividends as we take forward the delivery of better outcomes for victims.

Many comments were shared across the Chamber that I consistently support, and I’m grateful for the contributions by many Members, including the opening remarks by Bethan Jenkins in her view of localised issues that she was aware of as well, which happen on a daily basis, and as a child.

The points Darren Millar raised about the faith forum is an important one. The faith forum has been used as a useful, effective tool of sharing different faiths and understandings in a reasoned way with people who can help each other understand the difficulties of explaining faith and remove tensions. It’s something that the First Minister and now I, as chair, work very closely with organisations across Wales on.
