Thank you. I picked up today in the media that the leader of Cardiff city council was talking about the need for more public transport use and cycling in relation to the issue you raise. We know transport, really, does not help with air quality, particularly in urban areas. We had a debate yesterday on decarbonisation of the public sector. Well, this is so much a part of the decarbonisation agenda. I mentioned that we’ve set up a ministerial task and finish group, which the Cabinet Secretary for Economy and Infrastructure sits on, and one of the things we’re going to discuss at our next meeting is low-carbon vehicles, for instance, because it’s so important that as we make that transition into a low-carbon economy and in relation to transport, these are taken into account in relation to our air quality.
