Part of 1. Questions to the First Minister – in the Senedd at 2:14 pm on 8 November 2022.
As the vice-chair of the group on the armed forces, I'd like to echo the points that Darren Millar has made. The armed forces liaison officers form a critical part of the infrastructure of the provision of services, and the representation of need within local government across Wales. We were able to extend the funding—I think it was for two years—which runs out now in March, and it would be a really essential and good use of public money to ensure that this funding becomes a permanent feature of this public service architecture.
