Part of the debate – in the Senedd at 1:46 pm on 19 October 2016.
Thank you all for your contributions. It is right that Wales’s Parliament pays its respect on the fiftieth anniversary of this tragedy. We are conscious that, for the community of Aberfan, it is a tragedy that you live with day in and day out. However, we commend the community for facing the future with strength and resilience. I now ask the National Assembly and the public gallery to rise to remember those 144 men, women and children, who, on that morning of 21 October 1966, had their future taken away from them.
