It’s worth remembering that it was in October 2015 that the Wales Trades Union Congress launched its excellent campaign for better jobs, closer to home, to benefit Valleys communities such as the one I represent in Caerphilly, and, indeed, I received a very friendly note from them last week emphasising that, and I was pleased to see the same principles contained in the programme for government.

I’d like to welcome the speech the Cabinet Secretary for Economy and Infrastructure made yesterday at Coleg y Cymoedd, where he recognised the importance of addressing regional differences and taking a regional focus to creating resilient communities and indeed better jobs, closer to home. With this in mind, will the First Minister provide more specifics about the Welsh Government’s approach that will tackle those economic challenges faced by the northern Valleys of south Wales, helping develop our own specialised sectors, building on existing strength, and the social capital that exists there?
