Okay. I'm interested in the point about staging, but that might be more appropriate with the questions that are coming up, otherwise I'll ask all of Tom's questions, and he may never forgive me. [Laughter.]

Thank you. It's following on from what you said at the starting point about how realistic the goal is that pupils would be at least independent users by the time they finish compulsory education. So, how realistic is that goal and how much of an expansion in…

Okay, we're going to hear evidence later from Qualifications Wales and the WJEC on future qualifications for primarily English-medium and Welsh-medium schools as well, so that's interesting. But, on your point around a literacy framework to guide children…

Diolch, Cadeirydd. I want to start by going back to questions that I've asked consistently on the common European framework of reference for languages, or CEFR, and whether it can be applied effectively, in your view, in the context that the Bill proposes.

It's just on this point, about whether there needs to be a separate delivery plan or whether actually you could have the delivery plan for Welsh education included and integrated within the school improvement plan. My reading of the Bill was that it wouldn't…

Thank you. That goes into a final question, which is about those people who won't get to the basic user level, and there can be a range of reasons for that, and about whether you think descriptors are available for those people who can move beyond the top end…

Thank you. It's worth noting that I'm using the CEFR programme myself, in the lessons from the Senedd as well. Another one of the questions we were asking about the use of CEFR is the distinction—and I'm not sure how fair this is, but we're asking everyone—to…

So, CEFR is designed for additional languages. And there is a question about whether it's an appropriate tool for people who come from Welsh-speaking homes or a wider education environment, as opposed to learning it as an additional language. I just want to…
