Thank you, Presiding Officer. While Plaid's motion is well meaning and the kind of thing that should be supported, I must point out that it's a bit rich of them to be criticising Labour failures over the last decade when, until the end of last year, Plaid were openly propping them up by their compact and before that by the 'One Wales' coalition agreement. However, Plaid have highlighted a long-term problem, but it's a problem that can only be solved through the creation of jobs, which, in turn, is reliant on a prosperous business sector. Neither Plaid nor Labour treat businesses with anything other than contempt or ignorance. 

That is why UKIP's amendment calls on the Welsh Government to work with the UK Government to create well-paid jobs for young people in Wales's communities by taking real action. Reducing mass immigration will encourage businesses to train the current available workforce, as well as promote wage growth, and was a clear factor in the EU referendum debate. Reducing tax and regulation on businesses has the obvious effect of freeing up money to invest in employment and training, and would make us a more attractive place to base a business than any other part of the UK. More businesses would come here and bring job opportunities with them. Those of us who have worked in the private sector know the realities of the commercial world, and if it creates jobs and opportunities for young Welsh people, then tax cuts for businesses is a step well-worth taking.

The same has to be said for dropping the decarbonisation agenda and subsidies. It's all very well to say that we should all play our part—and of course we should—but the obsessive virtue signalling that Plaid and Labour have indulged in over the years is costing our people a great deal of money, while having a negligible effect on global carbon levels. When I read Labour's self-congratulatory amendment, I was struck by the fact that they still don't get it. Really, really, really they still don't get it.

After all this time and criticism, they're still unaware that there's a problem. For example, nowhere in their amendment is any mention of the obvious and dire need to spread improvements across Wales. To be fair, Plaid's motion does do that, and it makes reference to regionality, but this Government's amendment doesn't address it at all. They're content to do nothing to encourage planners and policy makers to take steps to stimulate prosperity in areas other than cities. This is such a significant problem for Wales that Labour's omission of it can only be because they have no answer to it. It is important to remember, but I suspect you won't when you argue against—. I'm sorry, I've missed a bit. 

The final point of UKIP's amendment relates to foreign aid, and I'm sure a number of you will speak about that later, but it's important to remember—and I suspect you won't when you argue against it—that what we're talking about here is non-humanitarian foreign aid. There's nothing unfair about telling a charity boss who's earning £100k a year that we won't fund a non-essential project of his, because our young people are struggling to find jobs, even on the minimum wage, and we need to help them instead. 

In all, UKIP's amendment takes the Plaid motion and adds detail to it, detail that isn't otherwise there. It offers radical solutions to a serious problem—a problem that clearly requires radical solutions since none of the half-hearted attempts by Labour, supported by Plaid, have made a jot of difference. I urge Members to finally take a bold step and back our amendments. Thank you.
