Thank you, Presiding Officer. First Minister, could I identify myself with the comments that you made about the tragedies in London earlier on in the week? Obviously, we do stand shoulder to shoulder with the citizens of London and Manchester, and, ultimately, by getting about our normal way of life, we are defeating these terrorists—these thugs—who are inflicting such terrible, terrible tragedies on some of our communities. And, whilst we might live in Wales, we stand shoulder to shoulder with the communities in London and anywhere else where people feel under threat.

I would like to ask you, with that in mind, with the general election now on Thursday, obviously people will be voting on commitments made by the parties, and you, yesterday, in your role as First Minister, said that Labour, if they were to win on Thursday, would get rid of the Barnett formula. Yet today, we’ve had Scottish Labour firmly coming out and saying that there are no plans to get rid of the Barnett formula. Who’s right, Kezia Dugdale or Carwyn Jones?
