Gareth Davies, MS for the Vale of Clwyd, quizzed the Labour Government on what they are doing to ensure we never see a repeat of the practice of force adoption of the 1950s-1970s.
In his response to a Government statement in which the Welsh Government made an apology for the historic practice of forced adoption, Gareth said:
''Many historical adoption practices were unethical, immoral and, in many cases, illegal. In addition to this, these practices continue to impact many who experienced them, and also, for many, the feelings of loss, grief, anger and pain remain. This really was an utterly horrific situation—one that should not have occurred and must never happen again.''
In addition to his statement, Gareth asked the Minister:
''What work is now being undertaken to ensure that all those liaising with adoption practices are informed of their legal rights?
''What further work is being carried out to ensure that those who have been impacted are fully supported?.''
He also asked, in response to a consultation by the Welsh Government if ''any initial assessment has been made from this initial consultation, and whether any more will be carried out in the near future?.''
