Minister, the mechanisms of the co-operation agreement that have been published this morning make for some very interesting reading. And given the huge impact that this coalition will have on the people of Wales, it's very disappointing that the Welsh Government has chosen not to come forward with an oral statement to this Chamber outlining these mechanisms, so that Members can have the opportunity to scrutinise and ask questions. It's even more disappointing that the First Minister is not here to respond to this very important question. So, Trefnydd, can you explain to us why the Welsh Government has chosen not to make a statement on this agreement in this Chamber, and is instead being forced to respond to an opposition topical question? Because I'm sure even Labour backbenchers would welcome the opportunity to scrutinise this particular deal.

Turning to the details of the mechanisms, the document confirms that

'the Welsh Government agrees to take decisions jointly with Plaid Cymru across the agreed range of co-operation' on 46 policy areas. However, the Welsh Government has given itself the flexibility to widen the scope of this agreement, as the document says that

'Any decision to widen the scope of co-operation in this agreement in the interim and any other amendment to it may be made by the joint agreement of the First Minister and the Leader of Plaid Cymru.'

And widening the scope of this agreement is even more explicit, as Plaid Cymru has agreed to facilitate the passing of annual and supplementary budgets in exchange for influence on other budgetary matters. Therefore, does the Welsh Government accept that this agreement covers more than just the 46 areas of policy that it initially set out to the people of Wales this morning?

Of course, the agreement will have an impact on Senedd business, and I note that both parties claim to respect the independence of the Senedd committee system and the distinctive roles and functions of the respective parties within the Senedd. So, Trefnydd, can you confirm what discussions have been had with the Presiding Officer regarding the impact of this agreement on Senedd business?

The document also makes it clear that the co-operation agreement will be supported by a civil service unit, known as the co-operation agreement unit. So, Trefnydd, can you tell us exactly how much taxpayers' money has been earmarked for this new unit, and indeed any other aspects of machinery that will be put in place to support this specific agreement?

The document also says that Plaid Cymru designated Members will have the same responsibilities as Welsh Government Ministers to respect the political impartiality of the civil service, and will be bound by aspects of the ministerial code. Can you tell us why that is the case, given the document makes it explicitly clear that they will not be represented by ministerial or deputy ministerial appointments in the Welsh Government? Trefnydd, did the leader of Plaid Cymru just forget to ask for Plaid ministerial appointments?

And finally, Trefnydd, this agreement says that the involvement of Plaid Cymru is recognised as part of normal Government communications, and, as such, this is a coalition in everything but name. So why won't the Welsh Government just come clean with the people of Wales and call it what it is—a coalition?
