I am pleased to take part in this Conservative debate this afternoon. What I find disappointing is that when I read the Welsh Government’s programme for government, it just clearly fails to set out what they will do differently—differently—this time around to ensure that their aims are delivered effectively. The programme for government contains no targets for delivery on which the Welsh Government can be held to account, and no detail about when, where and how they are actually going to deliver the Welsh Government’s aims to support business or promote digital connectivity and deliver a transport network that’s fit for purpose for the twenty-first century. The aims are good; there are plenty of aims in the document, but aims are no good unless they have the detail with them about how they’re going to be achieved. Julie Morgan, I appreciate the size of the document doesn’t matter to you, but surely it does, and that’s what’s important here. Adam Price, I thought, very well brought out the comparisons between the past programmes for government and the programmes for government in other nations with the very small document that we were presented with last week.

With regard to business, as well, there’s been no commitment to raise the threshold—. Sorry, I was going to say that what the Welsh Government say in their programme for government, which I very much welcome, is that they’re going to deliver a tax cut for smaller businesses, for their bills to come down, and they’ll deliver that to 70,000 businesses. Well, that’s great, but there’s no detail about how that’s going to be achieved and there’s no detail or commitment to raise the threshold for the 100 per cent small business rate relief from the £6,000 rateable value. Now, business rates have been devolved since April 2015, but we’re still waiting for action, and our small businesses are crying out for support.

On digital connectivity, there is a lack of mention of how the Welsh Government’s going to play its part in extending mobile coverage to communities that have no coverage at all, or how it’s going to support better 4G and 5G mobile coverage. What I would suggest is that the Government looks at the Scottish Government. They’ve got detailed plans in this area and perhaps they could take a lesson from them. The Welsh Government also offers good, fast, reliable broadband, but there’s no timetable attached to that and there’s no definition, crucially, of what ‘fast’ and ‘reliable’ mean. I know the current goal is for 96 per cent of properties to have superfast broadband by June of this year, but the reality is that 50 per cent of properties in rural Wales now still have no access to superfast broadband. That’s 50 per cent. The final evaluation of the next generation of the Broadband Wales programme was published earlier today, and that highlights some significant concerns, including issues with the availability of historical and forward-looking information from BT, and criticism that the marketing and communications on the timetable for the roll-out have been inconsistent. It would therefore be helpful to learn how the Welsh Government intends to implement the report’s four recommendations.

It would also be good to have information and details on what Transport for Wales is going to do and how that will work with the national infrastructure commission that is being set up as part of the deal between Plaid and Labour. How it is going to work? How is the national infrastructure commission going to work with Transport for Wales, or is this just going to be the creation of more administration? So, how will each of these roles be defined?

Also, I noticed that some other big issues are missing from the programme for government. Andrew R.T. has mentioned that there’s no mention of tackling bovine TB. It’s scandalous not to mention that in the programme for government, given how much that affects many of our farming communities up and down rural Wales. There’s little mention of rural Wales in the programme for government. I think that’s particularly disappointing to large areas of Wales. And there’s no mention of supporting the steel industry, I also noticed, in the programme for government. So, in conclusion, Deputy Presiding Officer, there does seem to be a lack of ambition. If I’m wrong, I certainly can’t see it in the document that we were presented with last week.
