Diolch yn fawr, Weinidog. We cannot separate today from history. We must recognise some of the terrible miscarriages of justice faced by communities so close to the Senedd here. The other week, when mentioning the sad passing of Tony Paris, I raised the issue about his daughter wanting a street in his beloved Butetown named after him. Minister, will you support me in supporting a campaign to commemorate the miscarriage of justice faced by those communities by the justice system here in Wales—Tony Paris, the Cardiff Five, the Cardiff newsagent three, Mahmood Mattan, amongst others? We need to learn from the past if we're going to avoid it again in the future. Diolch.
