Would you acknowledge that, as you’ve referenced earlier on, £210 million so far, plus £20 million, has gone into Welsh non-domestic business rates? In regard to England, less than a third have had such similar rate relief. Would you acknowledge what the Welsh Government has done in that regard, and also the current consultation? And, in regard to the split multiplier, that there seems to be some consensus across on the opposition benches, would you acknowledge that that is a case of subsidising, say, for instance, small businesses, from hard-pressed sectors such as the steel industry?
