Yes. I read the report from the Joseph Rowntree Foundation with great interest, and whilst I think the idea of an enterprise zone for the whole of the Valleys has merit, I do not think that that would offer a silver bullet solution to Valleys communities. And I think more needs to be done over and above such a suggestion to actually address some of the structural problems that continue to affect not just Valleys communities, but many parts of Wales that experienced a decline after the loss of significant jobs in the 1980s that were associated with manufacturing, with the mines, with the steel industry for example. We’ve got a good story to tell thus far, in terms of our economic performance. We supported and created 140,000 jobs in the last Assembly term. We also ensured that we avoided the sort of blight on communities that was experienced in other former industrial areas of the UK, insofar as youth unemployment was concerned. Here we created 15,000 jobs for young unemployed people. As we move forward, I want to place the focus more on the quality of jobs that we create and also have a more sensitive economic strategy to recognise some of the problems that exist—some of the more idiosyncratic problems and unique problems that exist in many communities that have not benefitted equally from the economic growth that we have experienced as a nation. This is a big challenge and that’s why I’m consulting as widely as possible on what the new economic strategy should contain. I’d welcome the Members’ views on the economic strategy and I’d also welcome input from all parties and stakeholders.

As I say, that will be produced in the new year and will be presented to the First Minister. But it will be building on what is a proud, good record for Wales in recent years, but it will aim to address, as I say, some of the more structural problems. Meanwhile, the work of the Valleys taskforce continues. I know that the idea of designating the whole of Wales an enterprise zone was touted, first, I think, by Matthew Parris. I think we need to consider all levers at our disposal and all opportunities that the Wales Bill, and whatever devolved powers in the future, could present to us.
