Let me begin by saying that the creation of a more equal Wales is one of the fundamental goals of the Well-being of Future Generations (Wales) Act 2015, and that the pursuit of a more equal nation is at the heart of everything that this Government does, and that will be true of the social partnership work as well, for the very reasons that Alun Davies articulated about his own constituency. I was very pleased recently to meet the co-operative group of Assembly Members here. There were a series of very practical ideas that came very rapidly out of that meeting, and will certainly help us to form our future thinking and be part of that wider social partnership agenda.

It's not a surprise, Dirprwy Lywydd, is it, that when we set up an all-Wales programme monitoring committee for European funds here in Wales, currently chaired by Huw Irranca-Davies, that that sense of social partnership comes very naturally to us here in Wales? All the players who have an interest in making a success of European funding around the table together, and our partners who come from the European Union to work with us, to observe what we are doing, to share their experiences and ours, they are equally at home in that way of doing things. And that's because, as Alun Davies said, globalisation demands a local response. And if you're going to give people confidence that they have a place in this globalised world, that their futures lie to an extent in their own hands, then strengthening workers' rights, strengthening social protections—they build up the confidence that then leads to those cultural shifts. And I think we have a great deal of that already in place in the social partnership experience we have built up in Wales. The Bill and the other actions that I've outlined this afternoon are designed to take that further forward, put the confidence of the law underneath it and, in that way, to craft responses that reach far into the lives of people here in Wales and, most of all, into the lives of residents of places like Blaenau Gwent, where the need for those social protections and the need for that social partnership are more urgent than ever.
