Diolch, Llywydd. Today is World School Milk Day, and I'm incredibly grateful to be given the opportunity to champion this day and the School and Nursery Milk Alliance on the floor of this Siambr. Did you know that a 189 ml carton of semi-skimmed milk can provide 42 per cent of a seven to 10-year-old's recommend daily calcium intake, and 24 per cent of their recommended protein intake? It also provides 100 per cent of their recommended B12 intake, an important vitamin for several reasons, not least its role in keeping the nervous system healthy. Here in Wales we produce some of the very highest quality dairy products, with Welsh milk being no exception. So, for Welsh learners to get the very best out of their education, let's use World School Milk Day to ensure our pupils are powered by the very best milk—llaeth Cymreig.
