Part of the debate – in the Senedd at 6:19 pm on 7 November 2018.
Thank you very much, Deputy Presiding Officer. Like others in this debate, I'd like to start my remarks by paying tribute to the work of my friend and predecessor Carl Sargeant. I think today has been a difficult day for many of us and our hearts go out to Bernie, to Jack and to Lucy and to the family. And in replying to the debate this afternoon, I hope that we will all think about the work that Carl undertook and hope also that we will all be able to join together and remember somebody who was a friend and a great servant of the people of this country.
