May I welcome this statement, too? By now, of course, the detail of all schemes is what’s important now, not the existence of a statutory framework, and I do hope that the review will be valuable. We’re not talking here about Welsh in education strategic plans in isolation, of course, We are talking about Welsh in education plans. Will the review consider the growth of the Welsh language used occasionally as the first part of the continuum as part of the curriculum in English-medium schools and any work placements they arrange for pupils? Given your comments on childcare, which you have mentioned already, will you be asking the review to consider the value of having Welsh speakers in the front line in all Flying Start locations?
