On this happy occasion I am sure I speak on behalf of all Members when I extend a warm welcome to Deputy Ruth Coppinger. I hope that your time here will be productive and happy. Today is a special occasion for you and your family and supporters, some of whom are present in the Gallery. They are also very welcome. I wish you well during your period here.
