I thank Mark Reckless for those questions. I tried in my statement to cover a lot of ground, and I tried to make sure that I paid proper regard to the contribution that businesses, both public sector employers and private sector employers, have made to the development of social partnership here in Wales. It was very pleasing to see the welcome that both the Confederation of British Industry and the Federation of Small Businesses gave to the report of the Fair Work Commission, and my view is that businesses are equal partners around that table. And they're equal partners with Government as well. I don't see Government as a facilitator in the way that Mark Reckless suggested; Government is a partner in a tripartite arrangement. Government is there, trade unions are there, employers are there, and we come together with our different responsibilities and our different capacities to act to focus on problems that are shared between us and where our collective focus on them can lead to best outcomes. 

Of course, we do want more return on the investment that the Welsh taxpayer makes in building the Welsh economy. We are very keen to go on as a Government investing in the Welsh economy, investing in skills, investing in infrastructure, investing in assisting individual businesses, where there is a case to do so. But, in return, it is right that when the Welsh taxpayer is making that contribution, that it is able to say to those who benefit from that contribution that, for example, we look to them to provide proper occupational health facilities for people who work for them. We look to them to invest in the continuing skills of that workforce. We look to them to respond to the call that is often made around this Chamber to ensure that the mental health and well-being of people who work in those sectors is taken care of as well. All of those are public goods, all of those are objectives, I think, widely shared across the Chamber and, where Welsh public money is being spent, we think we have a right to ask that it delivers on those wider agendas as well.

When things are not delivered, does that mean that organisations are excluded from bidding for contracts? Well, it depends on what is going wrong. If companies act outside the law, by blacklisting, for example, then they cannot expect that they will get contracts from the public purse. When it is that a company is working hard to reach a point in an agreement that we have struck with them but they're not yet at that point in, for example, having an occupational health service, well, of course, that would not exclude a company from participating or bidding for a contract. So it depends on the nature of the issue at hand.

I'm very grateful to the Member for his description of Part 1 of the Equality Act as 'socialism in one clause'; it encourages me no end to make sure that we get it and the Bill in front of the Assembly. We are still working, to answer Mark Reckless's specific question, on the best way to commence it. It may be through the Bill, it may be that we can do it more rapidly, but your recollection of 'socialism in one clause' encourages me to bring it in front of the Assembly as fast as possible.
