Part of 1. 1. Questions to the First Minister – in the Senedd at 1:40 pm on 8 June 2016.
Well, I don’t agree that it’s been kicked into the long grass. There is a general recognition that there needs to be a solution to the problems around the Brynglas tunnels. The process in terms of the black route continues, but that needs a proper inquiry—that needs proper examination. I am keen that other options are examined as well, as part of that public process. I’m in favour of the transparency that that would provide.
In terms of the Severn tolls, we don’t control them. We think we should control them and, if we did control them, we’d abolish the tolls.
