Minister, there is now a growing campaign in Wales, led by five animal welfare charities, calling for a ban on greyhound racing. Dogs Trust, Blue Cross, Greyhound Rescue Wales, Hope Rescue and the RSPCA collectively believe that greyhound racing causes cruelty and appalling suffering to the dogs. Can the Minister ensure a written statement confirming the position of the Welsh Government on greyhound racing, whether they have met with these five organisations, and what steps they might take to address this vital issue of animal welfare? Thank you.
