Hefin, I think your supplementary was answered, because you were shaking profusely to say 'yes' to what Rhian said.

Just how do you turn what the Welsh Government's aspirations are when it comes to apprenticeships into a reality? You made your opening remarks. I employ a few people; we don't do any apprenticeships, so I didn't have to declare an interest in any shape or…

We'll move straight into questions, if that's all right, then. I'll ask the guests first of all to introduce themselves for the record. I'll start at the right hand of the table and work across, if that's all right, for consistency.
