Diolch, Llywydd. I’d like to thank all Members who’ve taken part in this debate and I will try and respond to many of the points raised. The substantial work undertaken, firstly by Professor Terry Marsden and his panel and then subsequently by Lord Dafydd Elis-Thomas and the working group, now positions the designated landscapes in a role that I think can help address increasingly complex environmental challenges, inequalities in well-being and health, and create vibrant and resilient rural communities, as Eluned Morgan has just referred to.

I want to reiterate again, in the strongest possible terms, I and the Welsh Government remain committed to conserving and enhancing the natural beauty, wildlife, and cultural heritage of national parks and AONBs. I have to say, you would think it was my report, the way some Members have spoken; it isn’t my report, it is the report of the group.

Wales has set out bold ambitions in the recent well-being of future generations and the environment Acts and this provides the framework for the sustainable management of natural resources and the path to resilient ecosystems, which are key to increasing economic, cultural, and environmental benefits.

If I can just turn to the two amendments from Plaid Cymru. We will not be supporting the first amendment. I’ve no wish to undermine the deliberations and report of the Future Landscapes working group—and, in fairness, Simon Thomas said the same: he didn’t want to undermine it—through and amendment that regrets how they have dealt with the Sandford principle. I don’t think it’s clear in the amendment whether this principle should be maintained or not. I know, in your comments, that’s certainly the message that’s come through, but I don’t think the amendment specified that.

We will be supporting the second amendment. I’ve said in my opening remarks, and I hope it’s very clear to everybody, that any substantive change to the legislation on national parks will require primary legislation. They are devolved matters and the appropriate place for that legislation is here.
