I do, and I think the Historic Environment (Wales) Act 2016 has placed us at the forefront of the UK nations in the protection and management of the historic environment. A large proportion of that Act has now been implemented. In addition, of course, I mentioned earlier that Cadw has allocated over £22 million in capital funding to support the maintenance of historic buildings and scheduled monuments in Wales since 2011, with revenue support for maintenance around £6.5 million. So, there is money available, and we want to make sure that we are able to protect as much of Wales's industrial heritage as possible.
