Diolch, Llywydd, and I’m going to speak to welcome the inclusion of the ban on snares and glue traps, and the fact that Wales will be the very first nation to completely ban them. As you know, I've spoken on this many times. I'm really pleased, Minister, that you have listened to the wider audience here that has maintained that this is inhumane and arrived at the same decision yourself that it's unnecessary and it's completely incompatible with high standards of animal welfare. I will, of course, mention many other things as the Bill goes through, but, for now, I just want to thank you for putting that there. Thank you.
