Thank you, Deputy Llywydd. I do actually welcome very much today's statement and in particular I am pleased to welcome the new Creative Wales brand. Creative industries are critical and of vital importance economically, socially and culturally to Wales. This exciting new international brand will help in promoting our ever-growing creative sector. As you reference in your statement, Minister, Wales is increasingly growing an international reputation for its high-end film and television production, and also as a film location—the filming of Brave New World is a perfect example of this—and it's delivering around £20 million additionality to the Welsh economy, as you've mentioned, and this will clearly provide a massive boost to our creative economy. And this is purposeful and this is strategic. So, it is new and exciting and there are opportunities being innovated, and the exciting project mentioned around Aardman is also of importance. Our tech industries are being strategically grown, and over the recent years have been extremely progressive. But we also have to ensure that future generations are equipped with these skills to continue growing Wales's reputation across our other fields. You've mentioned, Minister, the use of technology within the music industry to promote Wales and Welsh music talent through a digital distribution and labelling system, and that also is demonstrating significant success, and that also is to be welcomed.

So, can I ask you, Minister, what the Welsh Government is doing to ensure that the next generation of Welsh musicians have the funding and teaching infrastructure in place in order to reach that full potential, because it is a fact that music support teaching services across Wales are dissolving? You will, I am sure, be aware of my calls for a national music education and performance strategy for Wales alongside our major music conservatoire and national orchestral bodies. So, I am keen to ensure the fantastic opportunities arising within the creative sector are accessible to people from all backgrounds, because it is right, in Wales, that the arts and creative industries must be open for not just a privileged few, not being based on an ability to pay, but on an ability to play. So, strategically, with regard to music, this must mean an infrastructure and a network of accessible and funded music support teaching hubs to nurture and develop our future Welsh musicians and performers, or we will not populate a vibrant, creative industries sector for the twenty-first century. And I feel that Wales's international reputation as a land of song must also be celebrated and used to further the Creative Wales brand across Wales. So, I look forward to further announcements on this matter.

And, finally, I'd also like to ask the Minister what the Welsh Government is doing to support and protect grass-roots music venues across Wales, and I welcome the plans to map and scope these venues. I hope that this can help promote local arts venues, such as the Blackwood Miners' Institute and the Newbridge Memo in my own constituency. 

And, lastly, I do believe it is right that we do produce an overarching cultural strategy for Wales, and I do call upon the Minister to consider doing that. Thank you.
