Cabinet Secretary, Huw Irranca-Davies has actually covered most bases in his excellent question to you, and you gave a full answer. I think we would all agree that every child deserves the best start in life, but, for some young people, their background and parents’ profession does make that difficult, and that is especially true in the case of the children of our armed forces. You’ve touched on the census data and the measures you’re taking at the moment in schools to try and identify and assist these children. Moving on from that, what assessment have you made, or will you be making, about future growth and future trends in the growth of the number of children of our armed forces in Welsh schools, so that you can make sufficient contingency plans to best support them for the next five years or the rest of the Assembly term?
