Thank you very much, Deputy Presiding Officer, and thank you very much to all Members participating in this debate for your insights, your reflections and your commitment. And I think it is the commitment that has come across today, which shows we have really got to drive this agenda. We are seeking cross-party support for taking action on race issues. We have to demonstrate the Welsh Government's commitment to this policy area, and it helps us in the Welsh Government to provide a formal response to the recommendations of the all-Wales BAME engagement programme.

In spite of progress, it's all too clear that there is a long way for us to go, and we must be vigilant and active to make sure that we don't slip backwards or lose any of the progress that's been made. There are real dangers of that at the present moment, so we have to redouble our efforts and commitments.

I thank Mark Isherwood first of all for highlighting the work of third-sector organisations, but particularly those organisations that network in north Wales and south Wales, and you mentioned events that you've attended that have had an impact on integration through cultural and artistic events. Of course, John Griffiths drew attention to this as well, and particularly the role of festivals. I won't forget Black History Month last year, which was fantastic—it was more than a month—and the organisation behind it throughout the whole of Wales. I've already mentioned the support for the Windrush anniversary. We know that the Fusion project since 2015, we've supported that with the partnership of the cultural and heritage sector and we must think more about this in terms of every aspect of Government policy and funding. It is important that we are putting more money into the regional community cohesion programme, because they can identify where we need to identify tensions and also see opportunities in terms of community cohesion. So, those are all important points.

Mark Isherwood also referred to the Welsh Refugee Council, such an important organisation—the coalition of organisations working across Wales. We had an event, Sanctuary in the Senedd, on 3 April, and I was pleased to speak at that event, saying—and I believe it is true—that refugees have received in Wales such a welcome, and I think it does give us confidence to say that the spirit of the Welsh people is defined by empathy and friendship, not by difference or exclusion. Wales needs migration and we value the contributions that people seeking sanctuary make to our society. And, of course, I said there, as we say at every opportunity, that there is absolutely no place in Wales for hate speech or racism.

I thank Jenny Rathbone for her contributions and particularly drawing attention to race and equality in schools and improving outcomes, especially for Gypsy/Traveller children. We know that Gypsies, Roma and Travellers are amongst the most marginalised in our society. It is our moral responsibility to ensure that all citizens of Wales are treated fairly. And, of course, in terms of Gypsies, Roma and Travellers, that's where we have to counteract the negative views and misconceptions that fill the narrative around them.

I also thank Jenny for raising her concerns about the slowness in delivering the protecting places of worship scheme, the Home Office scheme. Indeed, the Home Secretary did announce an uplift of that scheme in March, but it is not going to be implemented until July and, like Jenny, many of us have visited our mosques in recent weeks. I visited my local mosque, and it was the divisional commander from the police who actually said that he couldn't believe what it must feel like to feel fearful in your place of worship in terms of insecurity. I want at this point to pay my respects to all Muslims in Wales during Ramadan. It is a time for prayer, reflection and fasting, and I think we all across this Assembly will want to pay our respects. Ramadan Kareem. It is part of our world here in Wales, and we want to support that.

I recently chaired a hate crime criminal justice board, and also co-chaired with the First Minister the policing board. At these meetings, we've discussed security for mosques and we've talked about hate crime monitoring from each region—that includes reports from every police force. Of course, we've also discussed knife crime, and I will pass back those points and questions to the Home Office.

But I think Leanne Wood and Dawn Bowden have raised important issues about how we seriously address this, and I do draw attention to the convention. If you look at the international convention, I think we need to make sure we focus on that today. It is about the elimination of all forms of racial discrimination— [Interruption.]
