Thank you for your statement, Minister. I have two questions for you today. Firstly, in their recent report, 'Beyond the Pandemic', the Industrial Communities Alliance provided some insightful analysis of what is needed to address the economic imbalance in our older industrial sub-regions, such as the south Wales Valleys. Minister, do you agree with the ICA's findings that what the Valleys need is simply more and better jobs, and can you outline what strategies you plan to implement in order to achieve this?

Secondly, during the fifth Senedd, we saw an ambitious holistic sub-regional approach from Welsh Government through the Valleys taskforce, and I understand that several legacy projects related to this are ongoing under various ministerial portfolios in this sixth Senedd term. Can you update Members on how the progress of these schemes is being tracked and monitored, and whether reports on this progress will be shared with the Senedd in due course, so that Members are able to scrutinise this progress?
