We have provided funding to ports, we are working with industry to develop supply-chain opportunities and we are actively engaged around skills and workforce as part of our net-zero skills action plan. Our approach will ensure we maximise the benefits of offshore wind across all of Wales.

(Translated) Will the First Minister make a statement on the Government's commitment to the First 1000 Days programme?

We know that the first 1,000 days, from conception to age two, are vitally important not only for a child’s development, but for the future adults they will become as well. The Welsh Government is committed to improving outcomes for children and young people to give them the best start in life.

Minister

Ministers make up the Government and almost all are members of the House of Lords or the House of Commons. There are three main types of Minister. Departmental Ministers are in charge of Government Departments. The Government is divided into different Departments which have responsibilities for different areas. For example the Treasury is in charge of Government spending. Departmental Ministers in the Cabinet are generally called 'Secretary of State' but some have special titles such as Chancellor of the Exchequer. Ministers of State and Junior Ministers assist the ministers in charge of the department. They normally have responsibility for a particular area within the department and are sometimes given a title that reflects this - for example Minister of Transport.
