Diolch yn fawr, Llywydd. Now, Trade and Investment Wales recently hailed the 30 per cent lower salary costs in Wales compared with other parts of the UK. Government has since taken down references to lower wages on social media, and so on, and I can fully understand why you'd want to distance yourself from your own mistake, but can I ask what is the mistake that was made here? Was it just that you said this? Because it does appear that at the heart of Government thinking still is a belief that offering low wages is a good thing.
