Can I associate myself with the remarks that have been made so far about local government?
First Minister, I wanted to ask you about businesses. The support for businesses has been very welcome but, as you know, there are 178 job losses proposed at Safran in Cwmbran, and the aerospace industry is, I believe, uniquely at risk from this pandemic, so I'd like to ask you for an update on what discussions are taking place with Safran and for your assurances that you will work with the economy Minister to do everything possible to try to save those jobs.
I also wanted to ask about support for vulnerable shoppers. Things are much improved with the shielded group and online shopping, but I'm continuing to be contacted by disabled people who have always shopped online and now can't access online shopping slots. What progress is being made, First Minister, in actually opening up some more slots for those particular shoppers who, though they are not shielded, do need that support? Diolch yn fawr.
