Diolch, Llywydd. I don't have an enormous amount of time to respond, so I won't be able to respond to each of the comments, but I'm happy to have further discussions with anybody who wishes. 

I'll try and address some of the points that have stuck with me. To begin with, Russell George's challenge on the target of 7,000 people into employment. I'm not sure where he gets his figures from. He quoted that only 2,000 people had moved from inactivity into activity. Our figures are showing that 4,500 have been supported into work through community employment programmes since July 2017. So, we're on target to meet the 7,000 jobs we’ve committed to, all other things being equal. Of course, we don’t know the impact that the recession and Brexit is going to have on our economy over the next 18 months and the Brexit uncertainty that his Government has unleashed upon us may well have an impact on that. As of today, we’re on target to meet our commitments on employment.

Vikki Howells made the call for bus company and community transport representatives to be incorporated into the taskforce and we are, as I said, having a separate sub-group on transport, and I will certainly do my best to make sure that those groups are represented on that. And she was right to highlight the personal impact from our visit to Ynysybwl of the empty homes initiative, where we saw the impact on the street of bringing a derelict home back into use and giving a family who worked in the village a chance to have a home in the village—that had a real, tangible impact.

The question of the strategic hubs was touched upon by both Hefin David and Alun Davies. This was a decision that I made. We had £15 million, I think, allocated towards spending in the strategic hubs and I looked at the quality of the bid that came through from the local authorities and I thought that if we funded all of those, I didn’t feel that we'd have more than the sum of the parts to show at the end of it of the impact of the Valleys taskforce that I wanted to see. So, I took a decision not to do that and to use the funds more strategically and more laterally so that they could be spread into the northern Valleys. And the empty homes project will spread into every community and not into a hub.

But to address directly the criticisms that Leanne Wood made, I would say that this taskforce is not a panacea. The socioeconomic condition of all the Valleys is the result of 100 years of economic headwinds and we’re not going to transform them in the short term. We are, though, doing practical, constructive things. And the invitation is open to Leanne Wood, as the Assembly Member for the Rhondda, to engage with us in a practical and constructive way. It’s easy to complain about all the things wrong in the Rhondda. I’m open to having a conversation with her about the things that we’re doing—[Interruption.] I'm afraid I don't have time.
