Work Programme

Thank you for your extraordinary generosity, Mr Havard. I apologise to the Committee. I was on the same train as the hon. Member for Clwyd South, but her knowledge of the road from Crewe to Wrexham is clearly far superior to mine, which led to my being delayed. I am interested in the Minister’s answer to the hon. Member for Vale of Clwyd. We would all be very happy to see growth in the private sector and in the number of jobs. What mechanisms are in place to monitor the growth of the private sector in Wales? At what point would the Minister be satisfied that the private sector is growing sufficiently, or growing insufficiently, thereby requiring the implementation of a plan B?
