Can I thank the Member for his question, and say that, in spite of the longest period of severe austerity that our country has faced—and which the Member and his party have been cheerleaders of—we have actually reduced the poverty rate in Wales by 2 per cent since 1998-99? In terms of the mytravelpass scheme, I was pleased to be able to extend that whilst we consult on what I intend to be a broader and better scheme for young people.

I think we have to do all we can to remove the barriers that exist, preventing people from accessing work and training opportunities. Some of those barriers include the acquisition or the lack of availability of skills training, the lack of affordable and accessible childcare, and the lack of reliable and affordable public transport. In terms of how we are dealing with these barriers, the mytravelpass is very important for young people, and, through implementing a broader and better scheme, I hope to create a better offer. In terms of childcare, we are developing the most generous childcare offer anywhere in the United Kingdom. And in terms of giving people better opportunities to acquire the skills that they need to get a life in work, we are rolling out, not just an employability plan, but a very ambitious all-age apprenticeship scheme that will provide at least 100,000 opportunities to the people of Wales.
