I thank Lynne Neagle for raising this really important issue, which is essentially the future of our young people here in Wales. And Lynne will be aware that early years and skills and employability are two of the particular priorities that Welsh Government has across Government, and we'll be looking very closely at those in terms of the budget setting. But I'll be having those detailed discussions with the Minister for Education, and with colleagues across Government, in terms of setting the budget. Lynne is right to point to the recent spending review. It is a real shame that the UK Government felt able to give the NHS in England and education in England the confidence, if you like, of a three-year review—or a three-year outlook for spending. Unfortunately, they didn't do the same for Wales, so we only have that one year, and we have no confidence of funding beyond that.

I've seen some of the social media and press comment from the Welsh Conservatives, which has been of interest to me. And I think it's worth setting the record straight in terms of education spending here in Wales, because it has increased by 1.8 per cent in 2017-18, and that was the fastest growth of any of the four UK countries, and spending per person on education in Wales was £1,369, and that's 5 per cent higher than spending per person in England, and equates to an additional £65 per person. So, I think it's important to be able to set the record straight.
