As we approach this week of remembrance for our nation, may I welcome, strongly, the Cabinet Secretary's statement outlining the actions taken by the Welsh Government to mark this important and memorable time throughout the year? In my constituency of Islwyn, the importance that communities place and their desire to come together to never forget can be visually evidenced on street after street. And, across Wales, men, women and children will be wearing poppies and attending remembrance services in our schools and churches and respecting those moments of silence. I've also been struck by the large poppies on the streets of Pontywaun and Risca and all across Islwyn, and I want to, in this place, thank those committed individuals like Bernard Osmond in my constituency and our armed forces local authority champions of the ilk of Andrew Whitcombe and Alan Higgs, and the many other committed individuals and voluntary organisations who, each and every year, ensure that our collective memory holds dear.

Within Islwyn, each community wants, strongly, to ensure that future generations are aware of the sacrifice made by our armed forces, to recognise the freedoms we hold so dear and that cost so much. And I do look forward, with great interest, to the publication in the spring of the Government's annual report on the progress made in delivering our commitments for our armed forces community and our veterans. Will the Cabinet Secretary, therefore, outline for me the importance and value that the Welsh Government places on this annual report, and how it will act as a significant benchmark for future action?
