Thank you, Deputy Presiding Officer. Cabinet Secretary, can I broadly welcome the updating of the Welsh Government's Wales transport strategy? I think it's right that the strategy is updated to take account of both new powers and recent legislation. I also agree that seamless transport infrastructure is key to economic growth. Of course, for years we've had talk of the M4 relief road, and I'm a bit concerned about some scaling back on some commitments about improving connectivity in other parts of Wales, such as the A40 and the A55, so I hope the Cabinet Secretary can give some assurance that these vital improvements are to be considered as a priority as part of the new transport strategy.

I do have real concerns, though, that our traffic infrastructure is failing members of the public. The Cabinet Secretary heard my question to the First Minister this morning with regard to Arriva train services, and with regard to the Cambrian line. I'm also aware that the number of registered bus services operating in Wales has decreased dramatically in recent years. And the practical economic impact of our inadequate transport network is, of course, acute congestion, which costs Wales's drivers and communities billions every year. The current Wales and borders franchise is characterised by overcrowding and underinvestment—I'm aware of that from my own journeys on the network—a total of £2.1 million was cut, of course, from supported bus funding in 2015-16. That's a 11.3 per cent reduction. And any future Wales transport strategy must address these acute transport issues.

I welcome the publication of the policy position statement to improve the accessibility and inclusivity of the public transport network in Wales. However, I do have concerns as to whether we will achieve the legislative obligations: by 2020, all stations and trains must be fully accessible, and at present just 53 per cent of stations in Wales cater for full accessibility. As the Arriva Trains franchise of course comes to an end next year, there's no legal obligation on them to deliver these improvements, so my question is: is Wales on track to deliver these improvements, and to deliver these important legislative demands to ensure that disabled people across Wales have full accessibility access to the rail network?

You also made reference to the traffic commissioner's office in Wales in your statement. The commissioner did tell the Economy, Infrastructure and Skills Committee just a few weeks ago that he doesn't even have an office or staff. So, as you have mentioned his office in your statement, I wonder if you could offer any support in that area.

You also note the increase in demand for private vehicles and the challenges that will pose as a result of new carbon reduction legislation. Therefore, can I ask what plans the Welsh Government has to develop a network of electric vehicle charging points across Wales, as part of this new transport strategy, to ensure that our country is obviously fit for the future? I would remind you that you have previously informed me that you don't have any immediate plans to use public funds for electric vehicle infrastructure. As far as I can gather, the Welsh Government doesn't currently have a policy in place on this issue. So, given, of course, the UK Government's announcement stating its wishes to phase out diesel cars by 2040, I would ask if you could perhaps change your position in this regard. I'd welcome any change in attitude from the Welsh Government through this transport strategy, so we can meet obligations under the Environment (Wales) Act 2016 and Well-being of Future Generations (Wales) Act 2015. I would be grateful if you could comment on that.

I am pleased that you will be updating the national transport finance plan on an annual basis. I very much welcome that. And I have avoided, Deputy Presiding Officer, saying the words 'And finally' this time. [Laughter.]
