I'm pleased to open this debate on the president of Welsh Tribunals' annual report 2021-22; it's the final annual report of Sir Wyn Williams as president. Before moving to the annual report itself, I'm sure that Members would wish to join with me in thanking Sir Wyn for his significant contribution as president of Welsh Tribunals. Sir Wyn was the first to hold the post, which was created by the Wales Act 2017. He is retiring from the role at the end of March. He has played a crucial role in taking the group of tribunals that were not reserved to the England-and-Wales jurisdiction, and were grouped together as Welsh tribunals. Through his leadership, a system of Welsh tribunals was created with strong judicial independence. I will now continue in English.
