Diolch yn fawr iawn, acting Presiding Officer. Well, I was quite moved by the words of James Evans there. At the end he told us to practice what we preach. He reminded us that we have a moral obligation to do what we can. Janet Finch-Saunders began the debate by saying that we need to confront the defining issue of our time. And tonight, I'd like to award the Conservatives with the brass neck of the year award. The staggering hypocrisy between what we have just heard from a series of Members, and the positions they take time and time again, beggars belief, acting Presiding Officer. I've just been subjected, not two hours ago, to a speech from Natasha Asghar criticising us for stopping a road scheme, which I would say is an action that speaks louder than words. And we're then subjected to this litany of hypocrisy from the Conservative benches, criticising us for the actions that we are taking.
