Cabinet Secretary, you may have seen a recent report that said the Welsh technology industry is growing faster than any other area except London. During 2016, the number of digital companies launching in Wales grew from 3,000 to 3,275, or a growth of 9.1 per cent, and Cardiff and Swansea are now the leaders in this technological drive. It is very, very important that this is reflected in the curriculum so that our young people can take advantage of these opportunities and indeed create them, and should you need a special adviser, can I recommend my eight-year-old nephew, who advises me very well in this area?
