I'm asking for an update on the legislative consent motion on increased sentences for animal cruelty. The Climate Change, Environment and Rural Affairs Committee unanimously agreed to support it during the last Senedd, but, unfortunately, it was too close to the end for it to be implemented. Can the Trefnydd give us a date for it being brought before the Senedd, because my understanding is that you have unanimous support across parties and within parties for this legislation to come in, which will mean that people who commit crimes of animal cruelty can have their sentences increased massively?
