We’re still in discussions with the UK Government. I’ve had several conversations, and many exchanges, with the UK Government Ministers on this very issue, about the principles of a scheme here in Wales. Now, we already run a volunteering scheme, and much other support, for young people in Wales. And my question to the Minister in the UK was how this would add value to our contribution already. What will that additionality bring to it? The Minister was positive. He said that he would seek to address some of the issues financially. To date, he hasn’t been able to secure any additional funding for us. But my team are in correspondence; I saw a note this week from interventions between the two departments.
