What action is the Cabinet Minister taking to ensure that her previous comments during plenary on 29 November 2022 that "we're not always going to be listening to the voices of the majority if they are all white voices" are reflected in her department's priorities?

As elected politicians, we should always also be mindful of our responsibility to consider the context in which comments are made and not misrepresent views. I would encourage the member to look at the contribution in full that I made on the date in question and the debate in its totality.

Our government priorities are guided by the principles of fairness and ambition for all of our communities. In that respect, we will ensure the voices and experiences of people who are underrepresented are equally heard and inform our decisions, as we work to build a fairer, safer and more united Wales for everyone. These are values that I hope all Senedd Members share.
