—but I just want to really conclude by again pointing to the cost-of-living announcements that I'll be making as soon as I possibly can in respect of how Welsh Government will continue to support those individuals affected by it. And also, to thank again the committees for the work that's been done in scrutiny and to point to the fact that my colleagues and I will be responding to many of the detailed questions that have been raised throughout the debate this afternoon.

Thank you to everyone who has been involved in the preparation of the draft budget. I think it really does signify a strong working partnership across the Senedd, where we have progressive people who want to show all of Wales that we are prepared to work together and to find common ground to deliver what's needed for Wales.

So, in conclusion and in closing, I think this budget does deliver on our values and our ambitious promises for people in Wales, and the package of funding outlined here uses every lever to provide the foundations for our recovery and to move us towards a stronger, fairer and greener Wales. Diolch, Llywydd.
