It's been a somewhat fractious afternoon, and I think it's right and proper that we conclude our deliberations this afternoon by coming together and remembering that there's much more that unites us, even Darren, than divides us. I'd like to start my contribution to this debate by saying a word about Darren's commitment to the cross-party group on the armed forces, and I know it's something that is appreciated by the veteran and armed forces community across Wales, and I'd certainly like to pay tribute to you, Darren, for the work that you do in leading that group. Also, the Welsh Government has, over the years, sought and worked to ensure that the support that is available from the Welsh Government is provided both to veterans and to the serving armed forces community and meets all the obligations of the covenant, but seems to go further as well.
