Thank you, Dirprwy Lywydd. I'm very pleased to open this debate, the debate on the president of the Welsh Tribunals annual report for 2020 to 2021. This is the third annual report by Sir Wyn Williams during his period as president. Before I discuss the report further, I'm sure that Members will want to join me in thanking Sir Wyn, thanking him for his commitment and dedication at all times in his role as president of the Welsh Tribunals.

Sir Wyn is the first to undertake this role that was created by the Wales Act 2017. Sir Wyn has played a key role in developing the system for Welsh Tribunals in these early days. We also remember his important contribution to strengthening the independence of the judiciary and judicial leadership. He has been vitally important as well in drawing up the agenda for the reform of Welsh Tribunals. I will have more comments to make on this in a few moments.
