Part of 5. Topical Questions – in the Senedd at 3:23 pm on 15 November 2017.
Earlier this afternoon, Llywydd, the leader of the opposition asked the First Minister whether he still stood by the reply he gave to Darren Millar in 2014 that there had been no allegations of bullying, or whether he had misled the Assembly. Now, the First Minister refused to respond to that question, so we have complete lack of clarity now as to whether the Assembly was misled, which is a very, very serious matter indeed. So, can I ask you, Llywydd, that you request that the First Minister return to the Chamber this afternoon so that he can address that question of whether this Assembly was misled, on a very serious matter, and if he's not prepared to address it himself, would he refer it to a third party so we can have an independent investigation of this matter?
