I will try to be brief, but I do want to first of all say congratulations to Chris Bryant for bringing this forward in Westminster, because I think it's an excellent Bill to have brought forward and it absolutely reflects the Welsh Conservatives' 2016 Assembly manifesto where we sought to strengthen laws on penalties.

A quick bit of context, because everybody else has spoken about what the Bill will do: in 2017, Abertawe Bro Morgannwg University Local Health Board alone saw 1,136 physical acts of assault against NHS staff, of which only 27 went to court—27 the year before, 27 the year before that. That's a complete nonsense. In total in 2017 verbal and physical assaults against NHS workers came to—quick mathematics here—just under 7,000 cases. Of those 7,000 cases, 906 made it to court. We need to tell the public that when people are putting themselves on the line for the public, going out there to help you no matter what your cause is, you have got to treat people with absolute respect. We will be supporting this Bill. Well done, Chris Bryant. Well done, Darren, for having this in our manifesto last time.
