Minutes:
The Committee recognised the importance of the petition, particularly as it was submitted by a Year 6 learner, and expressed regret that a more positive response could not be provided at this time. The Committee agreed to close the petition, and in doing so, congratulated the petitioner on bringing the issue forward. Members emphasised that the petition serves as an excellent example of how individuals, including young people, can engage with the Senedd to raise important issues, and thanked the petitioner for their participation in the democratic process.
In closing the petition, Members agreed to write to the school to recognise the engagement of the Year 6 learners in the petitions process, and congratulate them on their campaign, and to write to Monumental Welsh Women directly about the petition and ask to be kept updated about any future plans relating to a commemorative statue for Rachel Williams
