Part of the debate – in the Senedd at 1:31 pm on 7 October 2020.
Before we begin today's proceedings, I wish to reflect on events that took place during yesterday's debate on the elimination of racial discrimination. Many of you have expressed to me your frustration and disappointment at the manner in which one Member's conduct disrupted proceedings and brought our Senedd into disrepute. Conduct of this nature by any Member is entirely unacceptable. I have written to the Member requesting that he withdraws his defamatory remarks and apologises to me personally for his actions. In the meantime, the Member will not be called to speak.
