Thank you for the statement. The news doesn’t come as a shock—to some of us at least—because you did allude to this at the Welsh language committee last week. It is all-important that our national cultural organisations are protected, supported and developed. These institutions play a very important role in the life of our nation. Today’s statement states that Cadw will continue as part of the Government, but doesn’t talk about the rest of our cultural and conservation organisations. You do refer to them in talking about the role of Cadw in the strategic partnership for the heritage sector, but it would be useful to have your confirmation or otherwise as regards any reorganisation or merger of any cultural or conservation organisations. That is, will Cadw, the Royal Commission on the Ancient and Historic Monuments of Wales, the national library and the national museums continue as separate organisations? That is, has your predecessor's idea of Historic Wales now gone? Of course, it was a commitment in the Labour manifesto, and it is true to say that it was highly contentious, but does today’s statement signify the beginning of the end of the concept of Historic Wales?

In addition to safeguarding our conservation and cultural organisations financially, it is important that they are also nurtured. But, I also see that there is a great deal of emphasis in the statement on the financial model for Cadw—a great deal of emphasis—and that begs the question of whether this is just a financial decision on behalf of Welsh Government. So, it would be useful to see the business case that supports this decision. Can you give us a date for when the business case will be published, and on the remit of that report? Is there any consideration given to other conservation and cultural organisations, and do any operational issues apart from the funding of bodies receive consideration? 

You say in your statement that the commercial performance of Cadw has improved significantly and that visitor numbers suggest that Cadw is on the right path. At the Welsh language committee last week, there was confirmation that Cadw admission prices will be increased, but there was no confirmation by how much. In doing that, won’t it undermine some of the work that has been done, as we could perhaps see fewer visitors and therefore militate against the progress that has been made? Thank you.
