I’m grateful to Hefin David for keeping the focus on this issue this afternoon. Cabinet Secretary, last week I attended a ‘fly the flag for our armed forces’ event at Monmouthshire County Council’s headquarters just outside Usk, and it was a very well-attended event. It goes to show how many not just Assembly Members but people across Wales want to honour our armed forces and recognise the very difficult job that they do. I understand that on Armed Forces Day, Stagecoach offered free travel to armed forces personnel carrying an ID card and to veterans carrying a veterans badge. I think that Stagecoach have signed a covenant to support the armed forces community. I think that’s a really worthwhile type of programme. Is that something that Welsh Government have been supporting and would look to support more in the future?
