Elin Jones: I can’t hear the question, neither can the Minister. Can you please calm down? Russell George.
Elin Jones: Thank you, Minister, for not testing my patience, although the last 10 minutes probably have. I would say that I think that the lesson from the last 10 minutes is, if Government policies are to be packaged as announcements, then they are best made here to this Chamber so that we are all able to scrutinise and hear those statements—[Interruption.] Calm down. This will be our last voting...
