I thank Simon Thomas for his questions. I was content, further to a discussion this morning at the Business Committee, to postpone this afternoon’s debate on the review of national parks and areas of outstanding natural beauty, and I can assure the Member and the Assembly that we’ll reschedule the debate on the Cabinet Secretary’s return, which is also appropriate, and has had an impact on timing for this, but when the final report has been published. On that basis, I hope that gives you the appropriate assurances.

On your second point, no, we’re not in a position in terms of our understanding of the impact of the announcement in terms of the changes as a result of procurement for the decommissioning of the old Magnox nuclear reactors, but this is something, clearly, that we would want to be fully engaged with, and ensure that Members are appropriately informed about. But UK Government obviously, clearly, have that responsibility, as well.
