The Member may be interested to know that with the proposed regional model of economic development, we’ll be bringing together in a similar footprint those activities that relate to employment and skills training and skills provision, so that we have a more place-based approach to economic development and the delivery of skills provision. But there will continue to be programmes, of course, that are based on need.

What we’re keen to do is to make sure that every barrier to employment, every barrier to prosperity, is torn down, whether it be the barrier of transport through the provision of the metro in the south, a better rail franchise across the rest of Wales, better buses, or whether it be through childcare, through the roll-out of the most generous childcare support anywhere in the UK, or through the provision of skills training, through the roll-out of a new employability plan. The key thing is that we have a sensitivity to regional idiosyncrasies and requirements whilst also making sure that there is equitable provision for every individual right across our country.
