Thank you very much. I’m very grateful to Sian and Bethan for the comments that they’ve made. I haven’t had an opportunity to read all of the evidence that the committee has received on the standards in its entirety, and the general comments about the system that we have, but I would welcome an opportunity to discuss with the committee Chair, if that’s possible, the way in which she would like us to consider the way in which we reform the current system and process. I haven’t seen it, but I am sure that I will agree with a lot of what has been said in evidence. I do agree with her comments this afternoon—damned with faint praise. I do agree with what she said when it comes to the system, and I’m very eager to play a role in changing the system for the future so that we don’t go through this again.

At the same time, I agree with the comments made by Sian Gwenllian on expanding the place of the Welsh language in the educational world. That’s what we want to do, while the students are in the classroom, are in the lecture room and are also outside the classroom: allowing students to live their lives through the medium of Welsh and to receive their education through the medium of Welsh, and then to socialise and live through the medium of Welsh as well. That’s our objective and our vision. I agree that it’s difficult to say that any set of standards or set of legislation is going to be perfect. We have to consider how these are implemented, and that is going to be very important. I do agree with the comments that we need to monitor how they’re implemented. I will do that, but I do hope that we can move ahead now and have a richer conversation about how we implement this policy, how we implement this legislation and how we legislate for the future, and legislate for a bilingual nation. Thank you very much.
