I hope that that is happening. I had a meeting last week with the Cabinet Secretary for Education and Coleg Cymraeg Cenedlaethol to discuss how we can expand and continue to implement the work that was recommended by Delyth Evans in her task and finish group, which the Cabinet Secretary published in the summer. I would expect and anticipate that all those different elements need to be in place. I will be publishing by the end of this year a plan for the teaching of Welsh in education and some of those elements will be addressed in that. Otherwise, you’ll see from the strategy that we published before the summer recess that we have targets in place for increasing the number of teachers and teaching staff available to be able to teach both through the medium of Welsh and to teach Welsh—significant increases by the end of this Assembly—and we have already put in place our programmes for achieving those targets. I would be very happy to update Members at appropriate times through this Assembly.
