I think the Member raises a very important point about the need to ensure that people who face redundancy are given the right support to get back into work or, indeed, to start their own company. ReAct 3 will provide financial support to people who are affected, and also financial support to potential employers of those people who may be affected. But there are also Welsh Government-supported initiatives concerning shared space, incubation hubs and so forth, that also offer bursaries to people who wish to be innovative and entrepreneurial, not just when they start out on their careers—often young people—but also people who have been made redundant but have an idea for a business and need a number of things: one, financial support; two, support from peers; and three, opportunities to break into a certain field. So, that’s in part why the Welsh Government through its programme for government is keen to roll out more shared space and incubation hubs for entrepreneurs.
