Thank you, chair, clerk. I'm very grateful for the nomination and for that nomination being seconded, and I accept that nomination. I'd like to congratulate every Member elected to this sixth Senedd. Many of you are new faces, and I congratulate you particularly. Some of us have been elected for the sixth time—four of us, and the class of 1999 is shrinking fast; there are few of us left.

I look around me and I see a Senedd elected that feels strong and robust, with every one elected to support the existence of our national Parliament, and most here want to see the Senedd empowered further.
