I've spoken about giants and I think it's fitting because this place has always seemed like a place of magic to me. Things come into being here that didn't exist before—yes, laws, but also ideas, alliances. It's long been a dream of mine to be here, not ever in these circumstances, but a dream all the same. Yeats taught me that in dreams begin responsibilities. I have a responsibility to the people of South Wales East to do the best I can, to my party and group, and I have a responsibility to Steffan. I do not bear it lightly. I know I must give all I have for him. I know that, no matter where in this Chamber I sit, many of you will think of me as being in Steffan's place, and I don't mind that. In fact, I will consider it an honour. For although I am this Chamber's newest member, in Steffan's place, I've been given the best seat in the house. 

I am in Steffan's place, but I will never replace him. I hope you will let me share it with him. Diolch. [Applause.]
