As I understand it from what the First Minister and the Minister for the economy have said in the past, the current situation is that the franchise will commence without the full powers or the full budget having been devolved to the Welsh Government, and therefore the Welsh Government to all intents and purposes will be an agent for the Westminster Government. Now, if that is the case, can I ask you plainly in light of what happened in terms of electrification to Swansea, do you trust in the Westminster Government to transfer full powers in time and, importantly, to transfer the full funding additionally?
