First Minister, you’ve just mentioned steel there, and are you as disappointed as I was when I read through the industrial plan from the UK Government that there’s very little reflection on steel? In fact, it reflects, perhaps, their whole approach to steel—non-existent, effectively. Will you look at the industrial strategy, because manufacturing is 16 per cent of the gross value added here in Wales? It’s a major sector, so when you produce the economic strategy, will you ensure that there’s an industrial strategy within that to ensure that our manufacturing sector and our steel sector is reflected in the actions we take?
