Part of 1. Questions to the First Minister – in the Senedd at 1:43 pm on 22 May 2018.
It doesn't look as if I'm going to get an answer. I appreciate that, but I'll look forward to the answer when it comes. But will you give us an assurance, then, this afternoon, First Minister, that if the Government acknowledges these accusations, these assertions, based on the evidence that the committee took—the cross-party committee that looked into this—. To date, no-one has, from what I can understand, been disciplined or been sanctioned because of the very serious allegations that have been substantiated in this report. Will you, therefore, commit to a Government response that indicates that sanctions have been taken where they need to be taken, because, as I said, it cannot be right that people can have such leadership in a department and who aren't elected Members—the Ministers or the Cabinet Secretaries—and that the officials are running those departments? This department clearly seems to be out of control, First Minister.
