I do think that the Urdd is an organisation that has done excellent work internationally over the years, particularly that message of peace and goodwill. I think it’s important that we make more of that. The fact that the Urdd have recently been to Alabama to convey that message as to how Wales stood with the people there during those troubled times, as to how people dealt with issues that were going on in that area in the 1960s and 1970s. Of course, we do have discussions with the Urdd as to how we can assist them in future to strengthen the message and to convey that message effectively. I know that it’s part of their strategy to do far more on the international stage and, clearly, we should be strong partners for them. We will look at the minutiae as to how that can happen financially at a later date.
