Minister, I welcomed your response to Mick Antoniw with regard to local authorities across Wales. Monmouthshire County Council was one of the first local authorities to attain the status of paying the living wage to all of its staff. As you said, councils should be doing this, public bodies should be doing this, and also the education sector as well. So, could you tell us a little bit more about how you're encouraging the education sector in Wales to follow the example set by the majority of local authorities now, and how you're making sure that these living-wage accreditations do happen and do have the weight that we would attribute to them?
