Part of 1. Questions to the Minister for Social Justice – in the Senedd at 2:23 pm on 1 March 2023.
Thank you to the Minister. I've received some complaints about the language used by one Member, who has now left the Chamber, during his questions earlier on. I've been reminded by Huw Irranca-Davies of the exhibition that is upstairs at this moment, talking of those who sought refuge from Nazism in the last century. Our code of conduct here demands that we do not use discriminatory language, and, therefore, we cannot discriminate amongst who we welcome and who we don't welcome. I consider that Gareth Davies's comments this afternoon broke that code of conduct. I will expect him to apologise to me and to Members here who complained to me that his language was discriminatory, and will expect that apology, and I'm sure I shall receive it.
