I would like to congratulate Angela for bringing the debate, as someone who has dyslexia. I do find it interesting, sometimes, when you’re looking at certain pages, or certain things that you’re trying to compute, and then, obviously, express yourself. But maybe some people have cards dished out differently, and obviously my dyslexia was made up by my dashing good looks when they were giving out the cards at the start of life. [Laughter.]

I think the substance of Angela’s speech really encapsulates that there does need to be more done. Time and time again, we do come here and say, ‘More needs to be done on problem A, problem B and problem C’, but when you look at the numbers that Angela has identified here—something between 300,000 and 500,000 people, right the way through their lives, have issues with dyslexia on a different and sliding scale—and the help that can be put in place, at the start of the education system, can be put there if the will is there at a local authority level, and, indeed, by direction of Government. I would implore the Government to take a grip of this situation, because, as Angela evidenced in her contribution, there are wide disparities across Wales, and those disparities can only be there because, in certain postcode areas, i.e. local authority areas, that help has been withheld for financial reasons. That isn’t good enough in the second decade of the twenty-first century.

In my closing comments I would like to put on record my appreciation and a tribute to the coach who took me in hand, a Mr Wilson, who sadly has long departed this world, and gave me confidence and the ability to actually overcome the issues that I had with dyslexia. Today, for want of a better reason, I stand here and debate and discuss. Some people might moan and begrudge that, but I do do that. [Interruption.] It could have been so different. I do also pay tribute to the poor French master and the Latin teacher who tried to teach me Latin and French. Trying to teach a dyslexic Latin and French is not the solution to the problem of dyslexia, I can assure you. But, please, Minister, be positive in your engagement in this debate today. There are solutions there. The solutions just need to be brought forward.
