May I thank the Member for that question and, along with a number of other Members from this Siambr, who have taken time to meet the Youth Parliament Members in the various regional meetings. I’ve seen photos of many of you in various meetings over these past two weekends. May I also thank you for praising what we’re trying to do to ensure that each one of the 60 Members, who are equal in their role as Members of the Youth Parliament, who come from diverse backgrounds with different challenges—it’s important that we as the Assembly Commission and as the Assembly give each one of them the support they need to be able to undertake their new roles? There is a great deal of excitement among them to participate in the Youth Parliament and we must ensure that they have the appropriate support to do so, and to keep that under review as the Youth Parliament evolves during its first two years and as these young people participate in their democracy on behalf of their fellow young people in Wales.
