Part of 1. Questions to the First Minister – in the Senedd at 1:39 pm on 30 November 2021.
Thank you very much for that question, of course, and I thank the Member for what she said about the agreement. We now have opportunities to take further steps, by extending free school meals and childcare provision. The Government will focus on what is contained in the agreement, because that is challenging and ambitious, but now we're able to co-operate in order to do what the agreement says it will do. Everything that we do will do more to protect our children from poverty. Naturally, there are more things that we could do in future—that we can think of doing—and the Member made a number of important points. But the important thing for us, as a Government, is to focus on those issues included in the agreement and to implement all of those.
