Can I thank the Minister for his statement this afternoon on the update on the regional investment plan for Wales? I think it's important to remind ourselves that it is an update—we're not there yet. Can I also express my disappointment at the contributions from the Conservative spokesperson and the Brexit Party spokesperson, who have attempted to deride the benefits we've had from European funding. If they want to come to my communities and see what benefits they have given, they are welcome to do so, because that has been some of the help that those communities have needed at times of difficulty that they have faced because of the agenda of austerity that has been in place since 2010.

Minister, in relation to the statement, you mentioned one aspect there—a multi-annual funding basis. Clearly that was a European programme and it should be multi-annual-funded, but we don't seem to have a multi-annual-funded replacement in place at this point. All we know about the shared prosperity fund is its name. We know nothing else. Darren Millar may have more detail on that than we have, because we know nothing about it. We don't even know how it's going to be administered, what type of contributions and what type of limitations will be placed upon it, will there be any frameworks that we have to abide by? We just don't know anything yet. But have you had any indication that it would be multi-annual, so that we will have this guaranteed not just for one year but that these figures will be there for continual years so that we can put a multi-annual programme together, because it is important to help those communities that have been using that fund for that purpose to be assured that they will have that funding coming in, not just for one year but for several years, so that they can put something together carefully?

You also commented upon the regional investment for Wales steering group, and that you will be expecting a consultation document to be launched. Can you confirm that that's a consultation document and therefore it is not a final document given to the Government, but there's a process that will continue beyond that? Because you highlighted that the OECD will not report until the end of the year. I'm assuming from those bits of information that the Government will not be putting together its final plan—its final regional investment plan—until the end of the year or early 2021. When will, then, that be kicking in to ensure that our communities will have an idea of what the regional investment plan of the Welsh Government is for the future direction?
