I'm grateful to the Minister for his answer. Is he able to tell me whether the taskforce does or does not now include the Aman and the Gwendraeth valleys? The Minister will know, as well as I do, that there's a constant conversation, and sometimes those western valleys can fall off the edge. This is a real concern, obviously, because, while there may be some cultural differences, the social and economic problems at the top of the Aman valley are very similar to what you'd get at the top of the Rhymney valley, for example. So can the Minister tell me how the Amman and Gwendraeth will be included in the Valleys taskforce and how that work specifically will be evaluating and relating to those communities?
