Diolch, Llywydd. I’ve agreed to give a minute of my time to my colleagues Mike Hedges, Jenny Randerson and David Melding—Jenny Rathbone, I do apologise.

Let me start by saying that the M4 can be horrendous. At rush hour, I have regularly been sat in endless queuing traffic, and this isn’t just a problem at the Brynglas tunnels, but at several points along the motorway, and if there’s ever an accident, the whole thing can grind to a halt. And people are rightly fed up with the situation, in particular the fact that we’ve been talking about taking action for 15 years, and yet nothing ever seems to get done. I share the frustration.
