I will maintain the spirit of agreement this afternoon by agreeing with the analysis in the question. It is important that we have targets that are reachable and which also allow us to reach our broader target on an all-Wales basis. I expect local authority WESPs to be presented by December this year, and those plans will show how local authorities expect to reach their targets during the next five years. I will certainly look at these and ensure that they are ambitious targets and that they help us reach our national targets. When we publish our Welsh language strategy in the spring of next year, there will be national targets and a strong link between the national targets and the targets of every local authority. So, yes, I do see that link. The link is vital and it will be a vital part of the plan for the future.
