Part of the debate – in the Senedd at 2:42 pm on 26 May 2021.
The pandemic, Llywydd, has drawn into sharp focus the influence and impact that the laws made here, in this Senedd, have upon the people of Wales's every day lives. The full impact of the devolution settlement has been recognised both here in Wales and across the United Kingdom. This Senedd and the legislative responsibilities that we are here to exercise have taken place in front and centre in the minds of the Welsh population. I look forward to playing my part in helping the Senedd and the Welsh Government meet the challenges and difficulties we will face over the coming months and years. I will, as always, work to defend and strengthen the integrity of our constitutional role as a Parliament for the people of Wales, our Welsh democracy and the rule of law. Diolch, Llywydd.
