Thank you. I just wanted to draw attention to the fact that I had the pleasure of visiting Coleg Llandrillo Menai recently, and the department there that supports students to develop games. And it was an eye opener for me, because not only are they developing the concept of the game, but developing the software, the graphics—you need to compose music, you need to storyboard. There’s a range of skills as part of the sector, and it’s much wider than I thought. And it was wonderful to see students from Wales having that opportunity to train, to develop ideas and develop initiative. Enterprise was part of the course, and that is something that would bring benefits to the economy and the individual.
