General election 2024: Welsh MPs say last goodbye to Parliament

Until recently he was his party’s foreign affairs spokesperson at Westminster.

Mr Williams described the end of his parliamentary career as “something of an anti-climax” .

“The election was called so suddenly. I had been banking on doing something until October. There are some policy things I would have liked to finish,” he said.

While the customs and traditions of Westminster were initially a lot to get to grips with, he has fond memories from his 23 years working there, particularly from the time he spent chairing committees.

“I did sit in the Speaker’s place twice and chairing the House of Commons is something of a challenge I can inform you,” he said.

“When I was chairing the House of Commons in the main chamber, a friend of mine raised a point of order and I was very happy to slap him down.”

All three agree that helping constituents is one of the best bits of the job.

Ordinary casework was the part Mr Wallis found most rewarding.

“You know there’s not a million votes in it and it’s not going to make the headlines. Nobody’s going to be talking about it in 20 years but right there right then you made a difference to that family,” said Mr Wallis.

For Mr David one issue in particular stands out

He said: “One of the issues I feel very strongly about is dangerous dogs.

“We’ve had a couple of tragedies in my constituency and I’ve championed the issue with one of my constituents for quite a period of time now and we’ve got some movement from the government and hopefully they’ll be more movement in the future to make sure people are safe from dangerous dogs.”

Mr Williams said he was “very glad” to have worked for the people of Arfon and Caernarfon.

Offering a piece of advice for any new MP he said: “Most of all maintain your commitment to your constituency, they are the people that you’re working for.”
