Altaf Hussain talked about—. I absolutely support and echo the comments regarding the contribution of armed forces personnel from all faith backgrounds and all corners of the Commonwealth, and I know Jane Hutt attended a service in Cathays Park recently along with Race Council Wales and others to recognise the role that black and ethnic minority personnel have played in serving in conflicts.

In conclusion, Llywydd, our scoping exercise has demonstrated that—. As we've said today, I'm grateful for the cross-party consensus and recognition of the work we are doing in Wales, but do not disagree that, as always, there's always more that can be done, and we're keen to build on that work and the support that's available, and that was the thinking behind the scoping exercise. We're now taking those findings forward and putting them into practice. There is more to do. There is always more to do—more we can do and more we will do. We will continue to work with our partners to provide the services and support for our armed forces veterans and their families that they so rightly deserve. Diolch yn fawr.
