I’ll answer your first question first. Yes, it is an option to ensure that the plans are statutory in future. It’s also an option, of course, to move the planning process to consortia across the nation, and we are considering that at present. I don’t have any proposal to put forward this afternoon on any particular ideas, and I don’t want to propose anything yet. I want to work through the process as it stands over the coming months and to come to conclusions when it’s appropriate to do so—probably over the summer. There will be an opportunity for us to discuss that as part of the White Paper process, and that’s the kind of timetable that I have in mind for different options of doing this and putting it on a statutory footing.

I have avoided discussing the other matters over the past few months, because I don’t want to be part of the kind of debate that we’ve heard and have witnessed over the past few months. I did say in response to Neil Hamilton that silence can be an ally in these things, and I very much hope that we will, over the process of discussion and debate, and through the process of hearing what people say, come to conclusions that are shared across communities wherever they are. And it’s not my intention today to reject any plan. It’s not my intention this afternoon to accept any plan. I want to go through the process of discussion, sharing ideas and visions and coming to an agreement at the end of this process, and then move, on a joint basis, towards the future. What I want to see, wherever we are in Wales, is a way of working that will recognise that people have different ideas and different visions, sometimes, for education in our communities, but that we can agree that there is an appropriate place for the Welsh language, and that the Welsh language does have to be part of the education process. And when we come to an agreement, we will all then collaborate in future.
