I welcome the honesty in the statement that child poverty has risen and is projected to continue to rise. It's definitely the case that the social security cuts and wider austerity agenda of the Tories has been a big factor in this. There's no doubt about that. However, the Minister will also be aware that research by Loughborough University has singled out Wales as the only nation experiencing a rise in child poverty in recent years.

We don't accept that the Welsh Government has done all that it can. Indeed, there have been examples where the Welsh Government has made proposals that would have made things worse had they been implemented: the proposal to cut the school uniform grant; the reduced threshold for free school meals. Wales, of course, was the only country not to retain the family fund in its previous format, which saw thousands of families with disabled children lose out.

We can also point to the many committee reports that have made serious and significant recommendations for the Welsh Government to make things better. But, I don't really want to dwell on all of this. Instead, I have a number of questions, looking to the future. Given that many of the welfare cuts were started under Labour in Westminster when Tony Blair gave Lord Freud his first ministerial job, do you accept that you need to have administrative control over welfare if you are to seriously tackle the dishonesty of the Department for Work and Pensions when it comes to the assessments of disabled people, and to end the dishing out of sanctions like confetti?

Do you accept that you need to have a strategy for tackling and eliminating child poverty that includes smart targets and named responsibility for each action? And finally, do you think that you need to copy some of the legislation in Scotland and enshrine duties to tackle poverty and child poverty in law—duties that should be extended throughout the public sector and could, for example, be used to prevent schools demanding expensive clothes exclusively as uniform requirements, which is, I'm sure you would agree, scandalous?
