I'm grateful, again, for the words of the UKIP spokesperson in describing remembrance. Let me say this: he used the term 'our community will come together', and our community does come together and our community will come together and our community has been coming together to remember all those who served. The Member for Clwyd West spoke earlier about the Royal Welch Fusiliers and their service in the middle east. Of course, in the middle east they would have been serving alongside Indian soldiers. They would have been standing alongside Hindus and Muslims, fighting in the name of the Crown, and they would have been standing as comrades together. I was proud to see Black History Month in the last few weeks paying tribute to all those soldiers from all those different parts of the world who fought in the first world war, and it is important, I think, that we recognise through Black History Month, through reaching out to all parts of our community, that, when we talk about our community, we talk about all those people who fought and all those people who died, and all those people who made those sacrifices. That includes all of the people who fought under the union flag in order to secure our freedoms and to secure the way in which we live today. And I think it was especially poignant when I saw members of this Government standing alongside members of the black community in Wales in the last few weeks making those very points.

The Member is also right when he talks about the covenant as a reality of remembrance. Remembrance is not simply one week in November—it is the reality of what we do week in, week out, every week and every month of the year. The delivery of the covenant is the delivery, by the whole nation, of not just its gratitude to those who have served, but its recognition of the sacrifices that they make in order to keep us all safe.

The issues over employment are issues that are well made and issues that I will continue to address and that will be addressed in the annual report we publish in the spring.

Let me conclude by saying this: I recognise that the work of the all-party group has been important. I value the democracy that we have here in Wales. I value the democracy of this place. I value the work of this place as a Parliament, holding the Government to account. And I believe it is in this place that our accountability should be delivered. Not in private, if you like, and not through a bureaucracy, but delivering services day in, day out to the service community, and then to be held to account for the delivery of those services. I'm yet to be convinced about the role of an armed forces commissioner. For me, it is important that we invest in services and that we value and exercise accountability through our democracy.
