Local Assembly Member Paul Davies has once again raised the issue of the protection of war memorials in Wales. Responding to a Welsh Government statement on the historic environment, Mr Davies asked the Cabinet Secretary to provide more information on how the Welsh Government is protecting war memorials across the country.
Mr Davies said, “I’m delighted to once again raise the important issue of protecting war memorials. I have long campaigned for more action to protect our military heritage, as it plays an essential part of the cultural and social fabric of our country. It’s so crucial that future generations can, not only remember the sacrifices made by so many for our freedoms, but learn about previous conflicts and develop a greater understanding of how we have become the nation we are today. Following my question in the Chamber, I’ve written to the Cabinet Secretary once again to ask for an update on the Welsh Government’s work on this issue and I look forward to his response in due course.”
