I thank the Member for his contribution. I think the First Minister was very clear, when he became the First Minister in the fifth term, about having a very different conversation with both political parties and members of the public. I think the Well-being of Future Generations (Wales) Act 2015 actually puts into legislation what terms and conditions we have to comply with as a Government, about engagement with citizens. That’s certainly what I want to do. I want to listen to all sectors outside Government, to listen to the concerns that you have raised on their behalf, too. There are many organisations who I know do a tremendous job in all our communities, but the reality is, Mark, that in the last term of Government we were restricted by £1.9 billion less money coming into the Welsh economy because of the UK Government.

I cannot fill or mitigate that effect, and the fact therefore is that a 9 per cent reduction for some of the CVCs was inevitable. Actually, in some areas, we have to make choices and they’re very difficult. In politics—and, Mark, you’ve been in this game a long time, as well as I have—now is probably one of the most challenging times we find as a Government because the finances just aren’t there. We have to do things very, very differently, and I’m prepared to have that conversation with all aspects of people who want to do different things in their communities, but also have the same objectives as this Government about the well-being of communities right across Wales.

I think I spoke about this element to Bethan Jenkins earlier on. I think I see my role and the role of Welsh Government as about enabling people to do more, and if we can only support people to do well in their communities as a Government, I think we’re on the right side of that. I cannot commit to increasing funding for organisations when we just don’t have the finances to do that. But I’m grateful for the Member’s contribution, and I look forward to working with him and some of the groups that he represents here today.
