Well, Llywydd, we hear echoes of the Member's long history in support of apartheid South Africa in the remarks he's made this afternoon. To describe Wales's ambition to be a nation of sanctuary as irresponsible simply beggars belief. I'm shocked to hear it even from him, and he has no knowledge whatsoever of where people who will be housed at this camp are coming from—none of us do. Almost all of them are yet to arrive. So, as ever, it is his bogus claims, his attempt to exploit a situation to peddle a line that he finds politically convenient that we've heard this afternoon. It's disgraceful.
