Thank you very much, Simon Thomas, as Chair of the Finance Committee, for your words this afternoon. Of course, I welcome working with the committee and we are collaborating on more than one piece of work. There are different methods of working as well, and I acknowledge that sometimes the committee will scrutinise the work of the Government, but I think that we can demonstrate that over the past year it has been possible to collaborate on some of the important issues for the people of Wales, and also to improve some of the things that have come before the committee. I look forward to working with the committee in that manner in the future.

I agree with Simon Thomas that we have a great deal of work to do in trying to explain to the public what exactly we’re doing in the taxation field. We will publish a pamphlet for the public that endeavours to put on one page the most important features of the framework and we will then distribute that leaflet throughout the whole of Wales to assist people, to help them understand what we’re trying to do in Wales. We’ve pursued the principles that the OECD have published, and we’ve pursued those principles in the framework itself. But the OECD is also offering us some support in the attempt to get people to understand the new powers coming to Wales and what the Government is trying to do with them.

I acknowledge the fact that the committee has the right to scrutinise the work of the Welsh Revenue Authority. And I know that the new chair is looking forward to the work that she is going to be doing with the committee in future.

I’m pleased that it has been possible to agree the new process that will be coming before the committee next week to try and get the processes that we use in the process of funding and budget creation for our public services in Wales, with the new powers that we have. Government officials are proceeding to work on that new process and to see how other people do the same thing. I’m looking forward to learning from the work of the committee in this field, and I’m sure that there will be many things to learn in Scotland when the committee goes up there this week.

Deputy Presiding Officer, I’m happy to confirm that the work that Bangor University will be doing will be published. It’s independent work and they will be publish it so that Assembly Members can see what they’re saying about the work that we are undertaking as a Government. I hope that, before the summer, or in the autumn, I will be able to publish long-term plans as regards how we’re going to get people here in Wales to do the work that the commission is doing in Scotland.
