Minister, this April the Welsh Government announced a £3 million funding package for Food Skills Cymru, which will run until 2023, and over the first three years, this programme is expected to support 650 businesses. Minister, with the Welsh food and drink sector already generating £6.9 billion to the Welsh economy, isn't the Welsh Government investment a sign of the importance of improving skills and what that can do for the Welsh economy? And how will the Welsh Government continue to prioritise the ability to attract and retain a talented workforce and drive up skills within this industry?
