Thank you, Deputy Presiding Officer. Minister, having worked and volunteered in education and communities for the last 20 years, I have always said that if you give young people a chance, either through employment or volunteering, it's amazing what they can achieve. I was proud to stand on a manifesto that included a young person's guarantee, either of work, education, training or self-employment. Today's statement from the Minister will be welcome news to young people in Rhondda. Talent comes in many forms, and a young person's guarantee will let our young people shine and allow them to make a positive contribution to our communities. Will the Minister meet with me to discuss how the young person's guarantee will benefit young people in Rhondda?
