I would like to endorse the comments made by Alun Davies and the Minister. Certainly, this is a political choice, and we can't avoid that fact, and you have to take responsibility if you make political decisions that do have an impact on the cost-of-living crisis. 

Last month, I organised a cost-of-living summit in Treforest for my region, bringing third sector organisations and voluntary organisations together to discuss the challenges that we are seeing in our communities, and discuss how we can ensure that the support is available for those affected by the cost-of-living crisis. Whilst I'm grateful for the hard work of everyone who attended, in supporting individuals and families, they were all concerned that they, too, were under pressure in terms of meeting the demand. It is disgraceful that we are seeing more demand for food banks and that they are now seen as the norm within society rather than coming together to actually make them unnecessary. So, what support is being provided not only directly to homes, but also to the third sector and the voluntary sector in order to ensure that we can co-ordinate the support available, and to ensure that everyone who needs support receives the support that is available?
