Thank you very much, Llywydd. And as we’ve just heard during this session, structural funds have been extremely important for Wales and for the Welsh economy. As part of the preparations for withdrawing from the European Union, the Finance Committee has started an inquiry into the structural funds, for example, what will replace them: the shared prosperity fund, Horizon 2020, which has just been mentioned.

In that process, we’ve asked the Secretary of State to appear before the committee to provide evidence and it didn’t come as much of a surprise to me, but it was a shock, in a way, to receive a letter from the Secretary of State for Wales saying that he didn’t think that an appearance before the committee was necessary. And, more than that, he hasn’t prepared any evidence for the committee. I don’t think that this demonstrates that the Secretary of State is dealing with the committees of this Assembly in a way that is appropriate and respectful, but could you tell us from your point of view as to whether you trust in the role of the Secretary of State for Wales in preparing the ground for structural funds for each nation within the UK, as we see the structural funds disappear?
