There is an issue in Wales, as indeed there is in the UK, about productivity. There is no easy silver bullet that deals with productivity, but one area where productivity can be improved is through skills and providing people via those skills with higher paid jobs. The leader of the Welsh Conservatives asked how we judge whether the scheme is successful. There are two ways of measuring: first of all an increase in GVA per head and secondly an increase in GVA per head when compared to the rest of Wales and the rest of the UK. Both those things I expect to see delivered.
