I'm surprised but glad to be able to discuss this matter, because I've been raising issues to do with the Yemen and to do with Kurdistan constantly in this Chamber. We saw again, today, that the answer from the leader of the Chamber was that we don't talk about foreign policy. Clearly we do, because we're doing it now and I think that that's a great thing. 

I don't think the First Minister had any right to say what he said, speaking on behalf of the people of Wales, without recourse to this Chamber, and there's an empty chair there. The First Minister of Wales—we're debating this important matter for Wales and he's not here.
