Statement from Mark Williams on Manchester attack

This is Welsh Lib Dem leader Mark Williams’ statement on the Manchester attack.

I am deeply shocked and saddened by the events that took place in Manchester last night, which took the lives of at least 22 people and has injured 59 more.

This attack is an act of utter barbarity that was aimed directly at thousands of our children and young people.”

I praise the brave action of our emergency services, who acted quickly to tend to those at the Manchester Arena.

As a parent myself, I can only imagine the anguish that many are feeling, and my thoughts and prayers go out to all of those affected.

    If the Manchester United manager or players get large cash bonuses it would be good to donate them. They are already well paid.
    The newly orphaned Polish children should be treated as unaccompanied minors and therefore granted leave to remain until their eighteenth birthdays. If Ministers are asked for discretion they might take legal advice and the lawyers would be duty bound to spell out all the options.
    One minister (Labour) was so annoyed at losing a court case that he said that discretion should not be granted under delegated authority, he would take the decision/s personally. The criteria were a Nepalese Ghurkha soldier serving in the British army who had been awarded a Victoria Cross for his actions in Burma during World War 2.
