Llywydd, I believe that everybody is very pleased that the Member for North Wales remembers the address I gave to the Labour Party conference in Brighton. I was clear there, and I will be clear here today, too, that the way we deliver our services here is by ensuring the best deal for citizens, and also, of course, for the public workers themselves. It is a matter for the authorities themselves how they set about delivering those services, but I would ensure that—. We have a code of practice on workforce matters, the two-tier code, and he is aware that the officials carry out a national assessment across Wales on an annual basis to ensure that public workers and their rights are protected. I’d be very happy to publish the outcome, the results of those assessments, if the Member is not aware of them.
