I think we're doing that already, and I think what's important is, more than anything else, that business knows that the Government is there to help it, to support it, but not interfere with it. Government works best when it works alongside business and that is something that we have striven to do over the past decade and, of course, the economic figures show that that approach has been successful. Of course, it's for the new Government to decide what direction it takes, but it is hugely important—and this is something that businesses have said to me many, many times—that we work closely. We're a small country; we work closely between public and private sector to deliver the best outcomes for the people of Wales.
