Services for care experienced children: exploring radical reform - Ministerial scrutiny session
I know that time is against us, but can I ask on unregistered accommodation? You rejected our call for an action plan by the end of 2023 setting out how you will prevent the use of illegal and unregistered accommodation. Can I ask how many children are…

Can I just ask then—? One of the recommendations was for a clear plan in terms of how we can ensure that this isn't happening, and it's something that you weren't willing to commit to. I know that the children's commissioner was also frustrated or…

Thank you. And if I may just move on to deprivation of liberty orders. How will you monitor the guidance published by the UK Government that emphasises that it's a criminal offence for an unregistered provider to provide a placement for a child subject to a…

Thank you very much. I think that what I'm concerned about, and what we looked at as a committee, was in terms of looking at that statutory right: not that there's an equal right, but acknowledging that these children and young people will have post-traumatic…

I just wondered if I could just follow up. I think it's good to have that reflection in terms of acknowledgement of the disappointment following the debate, and, obviously, a lot of hurt and anger. I just wonder, has that then specifically made you reflect…

Debate on petition P-06-1337 'Sycharth, the home of Owain Glyndŵr, should be bought to safeguard the site for future generations'
If I may, if you take Cefin Campbell's point, if you've ever been to Llys Rhosyr in Anglesey, the same thing is true there. The roads are very narrow, there's not much space, but it has been promoted well. There are lots of things that you can see on the site…

Thank you, temporary Presiding Officer. It is easy to forget that the heroic generation of Gareth Miles is ageing—he was 85 years old upon his passing last week—but we won't, and we shouldn't, forget that he was one of the main pioneers of the revolution that…
