Mark Drakeford: First minister thanks the Welsh people in emotional resignation speech

Andrew RT Davies asks how the Welsh government will be ready for another pandemic in the coming years.

Drakeford says he believes the government – and the world – would be “better prepared.”

Senedd leader Davies follows up with some kind words for the first minister.

“We’ve had some interesting exchanges, some colourful exchanges and some passionate exchanges,” Davies told the chamber.

In his final question, the leader of the opposition asked what advice Drakeford will give to his successor Vaughan Gething so “that same passion and that same conviction can come over”.

Drakeford said he had “never doubted the commitment that the leader of the opposition brings to the difficult job he has to do or the motivation for the questions he asks me”.

“In terms of preparation, I just say to my successor that it will take hours and hours of his time because it’s unavoidable,” he adds.

“If I had a hope for this forum and these questions, it will be that just occasionally we all focus a little bit more on generating light than generating heat.”
