Diolch, Llywydd. I'm pleased to open this debate on the petition 'Calling on the Welsh Government to ban the use of wild animals in circuses in Wales'. I want to begin by paying tribute to the petitioner, Linda Joyce Jones, whose passion and dedication to this issue and to animal welfare in general has been clear for the committee to see. Members of the Petitions Committee and, indeed, a number of other Members witnessed this first-hand when Linda and her supporters came to the Senedd to hand over her petition during January.
