Thank you for that series of questions—quite a long series of questions. I'll do my best to do a little bit of an overview about them. I'll just start off by saying that, of course, I very much welcome the multicultural celebrations that Mark Isherwood mentioned, and I'm very happy to support that. It is absolutely essential in this climate of uncertainty and division that we make sure that the people who contribute to our rich multicultural culture here in Wales are celebrated properly, and rewarded for their contributions. I am more than happy to do that.

Just a quick canter through some of the more specific things about local government that Mark Isherwood raised. Obviously, we recognise the financial risks to local government and other public services overall, as I said in my statement. He could help, of course, by making sure that the UK Government met the commitment that Wales would not lose a penny of funding as a result of Brexit. Having that kind of certainty would certainly help in planning terms. Of course, at the moment, we have no such certainty. That is a major problem. It would also help if we had any clue what was happening with the budget, because although we have a lot of promises, we don't have a finance Act or any vote on it. So, that would also help.

Local government has very much stepped up to the plate, as the auditor general's report says. We have developed a good understanding of the implications of Brexit and engage across the Government. We have a partnership council tomorrow, in fact, where we'll be discussing the preparations. All local authorities have been asked to provide monthly updates to the advisory panel on preparedness across their local authorities, and, for example, those plans include work to ensure supply chains, particularly those supporting key services, are as resilient as possible; to support EU nationals to secure settled status; training and awareness on changes such as the few that he mentioned around export certification requirements and so on; raising awareness of best practice for the storage of food, for example the provision of advice and guidance on food safety; and, any changes to the inspection regimes at ports and so on.

I do think, though, Deputy Presiding Officer, that there's been some kind of irony bypass on the opposite benches because the idea that the only issue with procurement is that we will advertise our contracts to a different authority is risible, particularly as that was the only thing that they could remotely clutch at as a drowning straw for something that might be good to come out of Brexit. And I think I'll leave it there.
