But you also said that older children and young people, arguably, are the group that are most overlooked. How do you put those two together?

I just come back to what I said earlier about the end of exploitative contracts and the end of people being paid less than the living wage. And, all of a sudden, that puts more money into the communities and, more importantly, it means people who aren't…

The draft budget says, and I think it's quite well known, that skills and qualifications increase earning capacity. As a quick rule of thumb, the more qualified people are, the more they are paid, and the better terms and conditions they work under, and the…

I will just say that in my constituency there are a number of people who have fixed contracts with guaranteed hours of seven hours a week. They quite often work 30, 35, 40 hours a week, and they can just get by at that level. When, however, they're ill and…

Unison Wales, of which I am a member, has raised concerns about in-work poverty, and I often talk about in-work poverty, probably boring a large number of Members in the Chamber about it. Exploitative contracts and not paying the real living wage are two of…

Diolch, Cadeirydd. My first question is: £8 million has been allocated to the discretionary assistance fund, is it enough?

It's a question in two parts, Victoria. Doesn't universality mean that the people who need it will never miss out? And secondly, doesn't it mean that you could actually get children eating good-quality food from an early age and thus reduce health problems in…

But you can also have upskilling, can't you? You've got people who are skilled—electricians, for example, being upskilled for dealing with wind turbines and dealing with solar panels. Unfortunately, the private sector caught a cold on solar panels when the…

I was going to say that one of the problems we have, certainly in rivers, is we get this huge amount of pollution coming off, some from farmland, some from raw sewage being pumped into there, and you get rivers like the Wye and the Tawe that have got serious…

Actually, the increasing energy prices are probably getting home owners now to give serious thought to it; nothing to do with Government, it's just to do with cost. My next question, though, is on capital funding: the £41 million from the infrastructure fund…

Diolch, Cadeirydd. My first question is: there's the budget of £180 million to decarbonise homes next year and it has £580 million over three years; if we spent all that only on social housing, i.e. council and housing association housing, how long would it…

Sorry, I didn't express myself very well. I was talking about the fact that—. I know what you're looking at there. You said some areas are doing better, and the 1.8 is the mean, yes? I was just wondering what the range was. I suppose you've got a standard…

Thank you. That was very helpful. And it might be in some of the papers I've read—I've read so many papers for today—but you talk about 'more likely to wait longer in deprived areas' of 1.8 times. Have you got a range for that, as in, it's an average of 1.8…

I'm glad that you said that because I agree entirely with that. It was just over 50 years ago when the late Julian Tudor-Hart produced his seminal paper for The Lancet on the inverse care law. We've spent 51 years not making a huge amount of progress in that…
