Diolch yn fawr, Lywydd. Thank you for your replies to date, Cabinet Secretary but I’d like to try another couple past you again, as we haven’t had answers to these. [Interruption.] When did you hear first about this worst-case scenario? The MP for Bridgend confesses that she was completely blindsided by it, so I’m wondering whether you were.

Can you give me an answer, a straight answer, to the question: has the First Minister attempted to change his schedule in America to meet somebody from Ford? It’s a straightforward question. That’s a ‘yes’ or a ‘no’.

And another couple of questions: last September, Ford did say that the cut in Dragon production would not affect the workforce, and like all of us, you included, Cabinet Secretary, and Assembly Members—and, of course, Len McCluskey himself said in his recent visit that he was asking the company to demonstrate that they were ‘working hard for product replacement’. Those were his words, and I think we share those.

Today’s worst-case scenario report suggests that perhaps Ford has either failed, which means that there’s a bit of a black future facing us, or that they haven’t worked that hard yet. I heard your answer to Caroline Jones earlier on, but I wonder which of those two scenarios you think is probably the more accurate. I think it’s worrying that the company has suggested that work practices at the plant aren’t as efficient or effective as in other UK plants. That’s the first time that we’ve heard that, or at least first that I’ve heard that. Mr McCluskey said that he would ‘work hard’ with the company—I’m quoting him again—so do you agree that the kind of work that Huw Irranca-Davies was talking about earlier on should be undertaken as swiftly as possible so that Ford can never find themselves in a position where they can point to the workforce as an excuse for threatening that plant? I think my other questions have been answered, so, if you can tackle those four questions, I’d be delighted.
