Thank you, Lee, for that. I’m grateful to you, because the constructive challenge that has been referred to in a negative way by some people in this Chamber around the attitude of some people like yourself and Jenny Rathbone has made me go back and absolutely test the evidence about this. It has led to a refinement in the policy, because we want to make sure that we’re getting it right. As I said, I would have loved to have been able to make a big sweeping announcement from day one, but we have taken time to reflect on people’s concerns and to really delve deeply so we can find out where this money will make the difference. I’m grateful; I’m absolutely grateful. A government can only be as good as the challenge it receives, and it is not just the job of Opposition parties to challenge the Government. There is an honourable tradition in politics of backbenchers from the governing party providing that challenge, and I welcome it. I don’t see it as something that should be derided by other people around this Chamber. I think it’s good for the political process in Wales that we develop that culture. I think it’s something that has been missing from this Chamber. I don’t see it as a bad thing. I see it as a good thing, and it helps develop better policy. I want to put that on the record, Deputy Presiding Officer.

With regard to what’s happening in individual local authorities, the vast Majority of money for education is delivered via the revenue support grant in the local authorities. Previous administrations—the previous Welsh Government—had a target of trying to protect school budgets by 1 per cent. We, in this budget round, have tried to protect local government. Local government themselves have admitted that they had a better settlement than they had been expecting. My expectation is that they deal fairly with schools in their local authority area. I know things are tough for local authorities—I don’t pretend that they’re not—but education has to be a priority for them, and they have to deal fairly with their schools. I would expect to see evidence from local authorities doing just that. This should not be used to plug any gaps. This is additionality, and this should not be used to plug any gaps—that local authorities think that they can pull a fast one by using this money to then be able to cut somewhere else. That's why we'll have a very strict process in looking at how the funds are allocated.
