Thank you for that supplementary question. The Commission and, I’m certain, every Member in this Chamber is very aware that there is a continuous challenge to ensure that people in every region of Wales understand fully what is devolved to this Assembly and the powers that lie elsewhere. In response to that challenge, the Commission decided to commission a piece of work that was led by Leighton Andrews and a panel to look at how the Commission, on behalf of this Assembly, may communicate our work better to every community in Wales. There are opportunities, of course, to communicate digitally these days, in every part of Wales—hoping that the broadband reaches every part of Wales, of course. But there are interesting and innovative recommendations in that report from that commission, and we, as an Assembly Commission, would hope that we would be able to realise those recommendations as we wish to communicate with the people of Wales—that’s true in every community, not just north Wales—and that we communicate an understanding of the work that we do in this Parliament on behalf of the people of Wales.
