I think that is a question for all parties, working together, to resolve. We have to create a situation where complainants don't feel they're not able to come forward. We have to create a system—yes, we want to make sure that every system is fair; everybody understands that. From my perspective, I want to make sure that, working together as political parties, we can create the correct atmosphere and also to make sure, of course, that we are able to ensure that the processes—if there are new processes followed in the future, that they apply to all parties equally.

There are many questions, I think, that will be asked. The leader of Plaid Cymru is absolutely right to say that there are bound to be questions. I accept that, and those are questions that people want the answers to, and I accept that as well. I think, as political parties, we just need to see whether there is a way of changing the way that the Assembly deals with these issues and those are conversations we may well need to have over the next few weeks.
