I’d like to thank Simon Thomas for bringing this important debate forward. He is right that there is much common ground on this issue. The Paris agreement, which was 23 years in the making, is an unprecedented show of global unity on one of the most pressing issues that we face. And it is our best chance, even if it doesn’t go quite far enough, of addressing irreversible and catastrophic climate change. I also agree with him that the Government isn’t doing enough, and that there are some policies that are taking us in the wrong direction.

The most pressing example, I think, is the policy announced in the draft budget for subsidised free car parking in town centres—£3 million inserted at Plaid Cymru’s insistence on a one-off policy, for which there is no evidence, to increase car dependency. So, I think there are some issues here of double standards. And I think it’s a challenge for us all—it’s a challenge for all people in modern politics. We recognise that this is a long-term challenge, we understand the short-term pressures to take us on different paths, but we do have to have the courage of our convictions to resist that. I was deeply disappointed and very frustrated that the draft budget has included this policy, which we as a National Assembly just a few weeks ago voted against. We’ve got to resist this pork barrel politics that’s going to hit us in this Assembly without a majority, and there is a temptation to get headlines in local newspapers. But, actually, we need to be looking beyond that.

Another example is the feasibility study that Simon Thomas has been pushing for, for the Aberystwyth to Carmarthen railway line. Again, I think all of us who have done that journey would love to see that, but the truth is the cost of that feasibility study could double the number of buses covering the same route now. We could take action now. [Interruption.] Within a finite budget, Simon Thomas, it is one or the other at the moment. You negotiated something on car parking that took us in the wrong direction, and then the feasibility study into Carmarthen to Aberystwyth is taking resources away from something that could be done to tackle climate change now in the short term. I think we should—[Interruption.] I will take an intervention.
