I listened carefully to your answer, leader of the house, and congratulations on your appointment. Across the whole of the South Wales Central area, of which obviously Pontypridd is one of the key towns, there are these pockets of difficulty, shall we say, identified in Pontypridd at 6 per cent, but that could be anywhere across the South Wales Central region. I hear you've had an update meeting with BT, but it is increasingly really frustrating, as you can appreciate and I've heard you say time and time again, for the businesses and individuals that are in those pockets. What sort of timescale is the Welsh Government working on, along with BT, to try and have some of these solutions that you've alluded to in place so that that 6 per cent can be squeezed as tightly as possible down to a smaller percentage of the population that are unable to make those contacts? And, ultimately, what we'd all like to see is 100 per cent connectivity.
