David Rees: I have many Members who wish to speak, understandably, on this issue, because it affects all of our constituencies, including mine. But if you please keep to your one minute, we can get everybody in to ask their question. John Griffiths.
David Rees: Let the Minister answer, because I have many people who wish to speak, and the longer people intervene—well, you can’t intervene, but the longer people speak from sedentary positions, someone’s not going to be able to ask their question.
David Rees: Thank you, Minister.
David Rees: No topical questions were accepted this afternoon.
