I'm grateful to the First Minister for that. I wonder, First Minister, if you could outline your vision for how this will be delivered in places such as Blaenau Gwent, where, historically, we've had difficulties accessing some of those opportunities, and to ensure that there is equality of access and equality of opportunity for people wherever they live in Wales. I'm anxious that a young person in Tredegar or Brynmawr, Ebbw Vale or Abertillery has the same opportunity to access an apprenticeship, to access opportunities for further and higher education, to access an opportunity to begin a career and work as a child growing up elsewhere, a young person living elsewhere. So, I'm anxious to understand, First Minister, how we can ensure that this is delivered equally across the whole of Wales.
