Can I thank the Minister for his statement this afternoon? I think it is important that statements are made in this Chamber. I was very pleased that he didn’t reveal his hand on things like the tax issues up until immediately before Plenary. I think that’s really very, very good of the Minister to take his responsibility so seriously towards this Chamber.

Now, that’s not to say that I’m entirely happy of course with the budget proposals that he has laid, and I’m particularly concerned about the proposals for a tourism tax and that he’s going to look at that and begin to scope some work out upon it, because we know the value of the tourism industry to Wales: it’s incredibly important, in particular in north Wales, including in my own constituency, and we know of the difficulties that seaside resorts have had over the years, along the north Wales coast in places like Colwyn Bay, Llandudno and Rhyl. Some sort of tax on accommodation, which I think is what you’re talking about, could lead to absolutely devastating consequences for those towns, and I believe would suck the lifeblood out of many communities in north Wales that rely on the visitor economy. So, hanging up a sign saying, ‘You’re not welcome’, I think, is something that is an extremely detrimental thing that you may be planning to do. I’m happy to take an intervention.
