I’ll be making a statement early next month regarding the communities division and our vision for the opportunities for communities across Wales, which will be more detailed in terms of how we see tackling poverty featured at the top of our agenda. The Member made a very general statement there about what hasn’t worked in European funding, but didn’t give me any detail of what hasn’t worked, but I’m more than happy to have a further discussion with the Member. What we should do is not be risk-averse in some of the impacts that we do. We sometimes have to test things in communities, just to see if they do work to make the change, and I think we should be very positive about the programmes we have done and have delivered and not talk Wales down all the time.
