Can I thank Mark Isherwood for a number of constructive questions? And can I assure him, first of all, that I've been in very regular dialogue with Ministers within BEIS and the Wales Office? Indeed, weekly conversations have taken place during the course of the pandemic. I hope that they will continue once we're through this as well.

We haven't had the same degree of engagement with UK Treasury, and, of course, it's Treasury that will make the ultimate decision over whether to support Airbus workers with the financial support required to introduce a shorter working week. It is something that I've spoken with Ministers in BEIS and the Wales Office about, and I believe that we have unanimous support across Welsh Government and those departments in the UK Government for such an intervention. But it will require UK Treasury decisions to be made in a positive way, and I understand that they're considering this proposal at this present moment in time.

In addition, there are actions that the Welsh Government will be taking forward in the immediate future and in the short and longer and, indeed, medium term, including the creation of a rapid regional response team. That's up and running now. It will be operating on a cross-border basis as well. We'll be liaising with stakeholders right across north Wales and north-West England, recognising there is a huge issue concerning manufacturing on both sides of the border, not just aerospace, but other key sectors.

We'll also be hosting a summit, which will give many of the businesses within the supply chain an opportunity to determine what other prospects there are with other original equipment manufacturers within the aerospace industry. And, of course, we stand ready to support supply chain companies through the economic resilience fund.

Consultation on the specific number of jobs that will be announced at Broughton will take some time, as I'm sure you recognise, and we'll be working throughout that period with the company in making sure that anybody who finds themselves redundant following the consultation has support there through Working Wales to get training or further employment opportunities. As I've already said, the potential for an advanced technology and research centre will further attract investment into the Deeside area, and that is a vitally important facility.

Now, in terms of the apprenticeship provision at Airbus, we are proud to have supported thousands upon thousands of apprentices at Airbus. They are amongst the very best apprentices anywhere in the UK. It is a stellar scheme, and we are very proud of it, and we are pleased that we are able to be funding, right now, in these difficult times, completion of year 3 apprentices, and we are finding a model of supporting financially new starts. Mark Isherwood, I'm sure you're aware of our continuing target of creating 100,000 high-quality all-age apprenticeships. That will continue, in spite of coronavirus. We expect to meet that target, and we will do all we can to ensure that the maximum numbers can be delivered through Airbus.
