I thank Siân Gwenllian very much for all those points that she made, and I take her point that this does not include every child. I am very pleased that we are now reviewing extending the offer to parents who are in education and training or moving towards education and training, which we're thinking of in terms of actually having taster courses or going to interviews, so we want to stretch it as far as we can. I know that when the Children, Young People and Education Committee looked at this—I was on the committee at the time, so I'm aware of the concern—one of the specific recommendations and one of the areas that the committee felt most strongly about was education and training. So, I'm sure that she's pleased that we've responded to that and we are extending it to education and training.

In terms of the financial situation, obviously, because of the large number of children who've taken it up a year early, that does mean that we are spending more money this year than we expected to do so. So, in 2018-19, we spent £19.6 million on childcare and the budget for 2019-20 is £40 million, and that should be enough to cover next year, and any additional funding needed will form part of the normal in-year budget process, so the local authorities will not have to worry; they will be getting the money.

In terms of administering it and the WLGA, I think local authorities have changed their minds, because I think when they first took it on, they did feel that this was going to be an onerous task and that it was going to be difficult to do, and I think they made those views known, but they have changed their minds and they are very happy to continue with the task. And that is what we are being fed back from the local authorities—that they are very positive about doing it and would like to continue doing it. And in view of the fact that, I think, they're also seen as being the most successful people to do it, because they are close to the ground, close to the families and close to the children, I think that that is the best solution. So, they have changed their minds, and they are now much more positive about carrying on with administering the scheme.
