I’m grateful to David Melding for the points he makes. I absolutely agree with the points made on economic inactivity. I hope these are some of the issues that the future generations Act is designed, or will be designed, to address because we do have issues of inactivity in valley communities. But as you say, they’re not simply the result of unemployment but other reasons as well, and we do need to look at those reasons. We also, of course, need to look at the casualisation, if you like, of the economy, where people are not being able to access high-quality, full-time permanent jobs but are working on zero-hours contracts, working on reduced-hours contracts, working part-time work and are unable to actually sustain the family in a way that they would seek to do. So, there are a number of different challenges there in terms of that wider agenda, and I certainly agree with David Melding that we need to be able to do that.

I was very impressed with the work that TUC Wales did in terms of Better Jobs, Closer to Home in terms of looking at creating work within the Valleys communities and how public procurement can help with that. I think that’s a point that’s been made by Plaid Cymru in the past as well. It’s certainly an issue on which I believe the Government should place considerable emphasis.

Finally, just to test the patience of the Presiding Officer, the issue about listening to people is absolutely essential. That’s why I wanted to make this statement today, prior to recess, so that I can spend some time in the summer listening to people, because very often what we hear on the doorstep isn’t what we hear and what we read from journalists and from politicians who think they know best. I think it’s incumbent upon all of us to not just listen but actively seek to listen and to hear what is being said to us, and not simply to do it as an exercise to tick a box.
