Diolch, Llywydd. I'm delighted to take part in this debate today and welcome the spirit and the wide-ranging, actually, contributions to this debate as well. We may disagree, at the end of this, on where our voting preferences will lie, but I think it's quite healthy, in terms of the debate, that we've had such a wide range, across the sphere here, of suggestions on how—if I can just borrow Jack's contribution for a moment—we become a country that welcomes and celebrates young people and also, I have to say, retains them and wants them. I say this as somebody, myself, who was born in Gowerton, moved away, went away to university, came back and worked, went away again with work, came back, went away again with work and came back.
