I'd like to ask for a statement, please, on the operation of the childcare offer for Wales during these tier 4 arrangements. Parents in my constituency have been told that if they decide not to send their children into nursery, because they're trying to follow the Welsh Government's advice to stay home, they will either have to pay the money themselves or lose their place. And further to that, I'm very concerned about the impact that that would have on the viability of childcare provision, especially in areas like the Valleys. So, I think it's vital that we have urgent clarification on this and I'd be grateful if a statement could be brought forward. Thank you.
