I think, Steffan Lewis, your point on the threat to—well, indeed, it was closed, unfortunately—that community asset, that cinema in your region, is very important. The ownership of that cinema, I’m not aware—I’m sure the Cabinet Secretary will be and, indeed, the local authority, I’m sure, will be aware of this. This is something where, if it’s in the private sector, it’s more difficult, but clearly it is a community asset that is very important to your constituents.

On your second point, I think it’s very important that the Cabinet Secretary for Economy and Infrastructure held the first ever bus summit yesterday. I’m sure that many of these issues came forward in terms of ticketing, particularly the disparities and contrasts that you identify in terms of levels of fares. Where we have and where we will have more power, of course, in relation to this and regulation will be very important.
