Thank you. And I truly hope that we will see this progress as a matter of urgency now. And I thank you for your commitment, and I hope we will be in a far better position in a few months’ time.

And any legislation needs to be backed up by funding, of course, in order to truly achieve its potential. But, once again, I do have some concerns here, and Women’s Aid Wales have warned that further cuts to services such as refuges will lead to detrimental impacts for survivors of abuse, which could lead to loss of life. Can you now ensure that there will be no cuts to services such as women’s refuges and places for children? Under the circumstances, that’s the least the Government could do.
