Thank you, Huw Irranca-Davies, and I thank you for reading out that statement from the Council of Europe. I hope in this week we can reflect on that statement. Clearly, from the contributions that have been made this afternoon, there is a strong commitment to that statement. We have got to keep that at the heart of what we do in terms of Government and scrutiny, as well as in our policy making.

And I think we must just conclude by saying that, as you and others have said, the stand-together message is very important for today. It says:

'stand together with others in our communities in order to stop division and the spread of identity-based hostility in our society.'

That's what the Holocaust Memorial Day Trust has encouraged us to do: safwn gyda'n gilydd. Diolch yn fawr.
