Cabinet Secretary, thank you for that answer, although I don't think it actually goes far enough. I did a consultation in two schools in my constituency—in Y Pant and Bryn Celynnog—and it resulted in this submission, which went in, in fact, to the Welsh Government's consultation on electoral reform in local government, but is directly relevant to the legislation that's being proposed now in terms of reducing the voting age. What was very clear was that 16-year-olds are very much of the view that they should have votes at 16, provided there is clear education that is sufficient to enable them to understand the issue. What was also very clear is that they felt it should start at the age of 14, but it should go much further than the way in which the baccalaureate—. In fact, there was a considerable degree of dissatisfaction with the adequacy of the level that was currently included.

If we are going to empower students at the age of 16 to be able to vote, then we actually have to have a clear system of political education within our schools that allows access to politicians, to organisations. For example, co-operatism and mutualism isn't taught within schools and hasn't really appeared in any part, yet it is a significant part of social policy, as are many other aspects of social history and so on. It does seem to me that we actually have to have a root-and-branch review of the consequences of giving votes to students at 16 and the actual need to ensure that the education system is adequate on all the issues that they will have to decide. With that responsibility really requires the education and the empowerment of those 16-year-olds.
