I'm grateful for that, and I'll stand with my colleagues—Julie Morgan, Lynne Neagle, John Griffiths, Jayne Bryant and Dawn Bowden—who have raised concerns about the impact in their constituencies, and I also thank the work of the Public and Commercial Services Union who have worked very hard in ensuring that we have full knowledge of what is going on here. There was a letter from the Department for Work and Pensions, which was not as full in its explanation as we might like it to be. In Caerphilly, we've got 225 staff who are employed at the Caerphilly benefits centre. A number of my constituents work at other DWP sites in my colleagues' constituencies, and I'm quite sure that other Members will want to raise concerns—those I've not mentioned today. The closure of the DWP office on Castle Street in particular will have a detrimental effect on employment and footfall in Caerphilly town centre. It will take jobs away from an area close to residential premises, close to shops, at a time when we're boosting the Caerphilly town centre. This flies in the face of a very positive announcement today about tourism at Caerphilly castle, and no consideration has been given to the impact on how residents in Caerphilly will reach this site by car.

In the letter from the Department for Work and Pensions, they said that they want to maximise the retention of DWP colleagues—maximise retention of colleagues. It's clear, therefore, that they're actually anticipating losing some people who will not be able to get to the new location. So, we're actually going to see some new recruits at this new location, but they will categorically not be new jobs. It will make it much harder for people in Caerphilly to get there, and therefore, it is something of a misleading statement to even suggest that any of these would be new jobs.

Those that don't agree to the new premises will have to travel to work, as I've said, by car, and congestion in the Caerphilly basin is already a problem. I'd be very concerned to see issues added to that. It also flies in the face of our own stated ambition to bring better jobs closer to home, and what particularly concerned me was that the DWP letter talked about working with the 'Our Valleys, Our Future' strategy. It categorically does not do that. In fact, it does completely the opposite to that. And I was struck by the fact that the first letter I received from the DWP, from the UK Government, was addressed to David Hefin AM, which suggests that they know very little about the workings of this Assembly, and adds further outrage to the fact that they try to tie this announcement to a strategy that they likely know nothing about.

What can the Welsh Government therefore do to ensure that well-paid sustainable jobs remain in our Valleys towns, but, also, to dig deeper into what is really going on here, and the issues that I'm sure my colleagues would want to raise as part of this question?
