Legislative Programme and Budget Statement (Wales)

I thank the hon. Gentleman for giving way. It is typical of the good manners of men and women from Tredegar that we speak up for others from the same town, although, of course, we have very different politics. I note that the hon. Gentleman’s brother has Labour politics. There has been a lot of talk about collaboration and progressive politics today. I want to comment on the gulf in the seating arrangements. Frankly, we could channel the River Taff into the differences between the two Government parties. It is interesting that Liberal Democrat Members are embarrassed by their coalition—I just want to make that point.
