Shocking. Shocking. Did he get legal advice? I'd like to hear from him.

There's a very easy solution, in my opinion, to adventurist, violent attacks overseas. Here he is—welcome, First Minister. I'll say it again. There's a very easy solution to adventurist, violent attacks overseas killing people. What we need, before any military action is taken on behalf of the people of these islands, is a decision by a sovereign Welsh Parliament, a decision by a sovereign Scottish Parliament and a decision by a sovereign English Parliament. If we had sovereign Parliaments in these islands, co-operating and sharing sovereignty on defence, then I'm sure that these awful decisions that result in death and destruction abroad would simply not be made.

And I'll say finally, the next time that I ask in this Chamber for a Government view on the Yemen, speaking on behalf of my constituents at the Yemeni centre where I was on Saturday, I would like the common decency of an answer from this Government.
