Certainly. With regards to primary schools, we have to recognise—I have to recognise—that the responsibility for primary schools lies with individual governing bodies, advised by their local authorities. Welsh Government's advice has been clear that primary education should continue to the end of term, and I'm very grateful for all teachers who have worked incredibly hard over this academic term. It has been relentlessly challenging and difficult, and I'm grateful for their efforts. Thank you.
