Minister, the Welsh Government has taken a very significant lead in agreeing to implement section 1 of the Equality Act 2010. There's been a campaign for many, many years to try and get this implemented with England and is still awaited. I wonder if you could outline the extent to which the socioeconomic duty will be at the core of Welsh Government policy, bearing in mind the scale of working people who are living in poverty at the moment, living on poor terms and conditions, but also the inequality that arises within that grouping of people as well.
