Text
I thank the First Minister for her statement. I join Paula Bradshaw and many others in extending sympathy to the family of Sarah Montgomery. The events at the weekend were tragic. The First Minister mentioned that the NSMC is one forum that will discuss ending violence against women and girls: will she confirm that that forum is of strategic importance? Will she ensure that, in all fora in which they meet, the ending of violence against women and girls is discussed and that actions arise from that?
