We are committed to Cardiff Airport as a pillar of our transport system and gateway to the world. It has grown by around 60 per cent under Welsh Government ownership, sustains around 2,400 jobs, and brings in around £250 million of economic benefit. We will continue to support and grow the airport for Wales's benefit.

Aligning apprenticeships with the needs of the Welsh economy is at the heart of our skills policy. We are making excellent progress towards the target of at least 100,000 apprenticeship starts in this Assembly term. Projections show we are likely to exceed the target.

We are funding the adverse childhood experiences support hub for a further year, to March 2021, so that it can continue to offer advice and support. We will also be commissioning an independent review that will help inform and, if necessary, develop our future approach to ACEs.
