Thank you, First Minister, for the statement. It'll come as no surprise to you that I'm fully supportive of your commitment to embed social partnership working here in Wales through legislation. I've seen at first hand the benefit of social partnership, for example, in delivering the living wage to the NHS in Wales, and, as you mentioned earlier in responding to Paul Davies, the way in which we were able to avoid the types of industrial disputes here that we have seen played out in England. Of course, anything in my view that encourages people to join a trade union can only be a good thing, because we know that unionised workplaces are safer workplaces and they are better paid workplaces and legislating to expand that can only be positive as well. 

Social partnership is without doubt vital in helping us to deal with the problems of the things that you mentioned in your statement, First Minister—insecure work and in-work poverty—but also facing the economic and social changes that we know lie ahead, much of which is going to be out of our control. So, my specific questions are whether you would agree that the social partnership Act must provide a secure footing for both the nature and the structure of how we work collectively in Wales, and can you confirm that you expect our trade union colleagues to be equal partners, in order to address the current social imbalance.
