Diolch, Lywydd. I’d like to echo the sentiments made earlier about Bashir Naderi. I realise that the Assembly doesn’t have responsibility for immigration, but we do have responsibility for communities. So, I’m therefore asking that the Government make a statement of support for Bashir, his family, his friends. Bashir came to Wales and lived in Ely very happily for years, integrated very well, went to Mary Immaculate Roman Catholic high school, and I really would like the Welsh Government to stand up for this person who is a Welshman. That should be recognised and we should make the Home Office listen and, I’d say, keep their hands off Bashir and let him stay. Diolch. Thank you.
