I thank the Llywydd for that response, and I congratulate the Commission on the work that it’s done to get the Youth Parliament off the ground. I think it’s an absolutely wonderful achievement that we’ve now got the Youth Parliament. I’m due to meet the newly elected Youth Parliament Member for Cardiff North, Betsan Roberts, soon to congratulate her. So, I think that’s very exciting for all of us Assembly Members here as well.

In my constituency, many of the schools were involved with the voting process, and I know that it was a very good turnout, and, was, you know, very—it did engage very well. But there were some schools that didn't appear to engage so much. So, I wondered if there were any plans to reach out to some of those young people who are not yet aware of the Youth Parliament, and also wondered if there were any ideas about how you are going to reach out to individual young people, particularly individual young people who belong to particular groups.
