I'd like to thank Huw Irranca-Davies very much for those points. Certainly, we don't want any duplication and that's why, in extending the offer to education and training, we are looking at the gaps in the system,  because there are a range of ways that you can actually get some help for childcare if you're in education and training. The last thing we want to do is to duplicate when we've got very scarce resources. So, we're certainly looking at that.

It would be absolutely ideal to have a universal offer that was there for all children, like the Scandinavian offer, and I think probably everybody in this Chamber would want us to reach that. When you were in office, the officials were looking at a long-term vision. We are still looking at that. I think that is the sort of thing we'd like to aspire to but, obviously, we have got the issue of how you pay for it, which, obviously, everybody is aware of.

I think you're absolutely right; I think that the local authorities have learnt how to do it because, certainly, I know you were aware that they were reluctant at the beginning, but I think it is very positive that they want to do it now. I think they've seen the huge benefits there have been, and. for the 16,000 children who have had these very positive benefits, and for their families—I'm sure you've all had them in your constituencies—they've said they can't really believe it that they're having this childcare free. So, I really do think we ought to welcome it, because it is a great opportunity for families.

The Welsh language: 29 per cent of the children are going to Welsh language provision, or to bilingual provision, and we have made a specific effort to try to reach out to ensure that there is Welsh language provision. It is more difficult to get Welsh language providers, and that is what we're also trying to work on as well because, obviously, we're totally committed to the ambitions of the Welsh Government in terms of getting more Welsh speakers.

And as for Bridgend, yes, the discussions are still going on, and I hope that we will be able to continue those discussions until we reach a conclusion that will satisfy the Member.
