David, will give way on that? Thank you for giving way. I note as well—and I’m looking towards Neil as well for clarification on this, perhaps visually, as he nods or shakes his head—but it is my understanding as well that it is still UKIP’s national UK policy to support coal as part of the solution going forward. And I’m really interested, in the opposition that there is to wind and to solar, as to which pits in my constituency will be reopened. Coegnant pit or Wyndham colliery in the middle of Maesteg? Which ones? Or, which opencasts are going to be opened or extended in my constituency? Because if coal is part of the solution, that's what’s going to happen.
