I thank the Member for his comments. I watched earlier in the questions in Westminster the right honourable Member Chris Bryant raising the issue of miners from the Rhondda in plimsolls and T-shirts confronting riot squads on horses chasing them down the streets. If it was wrong then, it is wrong now. The fact of the matter is that the reasons given by the Home Secretary, I believe, were invalid. There was the excuse that there was no evidence, when there are many videos, there are many photographs, and there are many trial transcripts of this event. The fact of the matter is: how do we know, how do the public know that there was no political interference in the way that was dealt with? I cannot stand here and defend that policy; the UK Government should do that.

The police and crime commissioners and, indeed, the south Yorkshire police commissioner who has also agreed and said there should be a public inquiry—it’s something I will review in terms of our relationship, but, as I said, it is a non-devolved issue, but we do hold a very strong view in this Welsh Government.
