Okay. Cabinet Secretary, I'm pleased that the Welsh Government is taking some action over the land sale scandals that took place in 2012, but I'm very concerned that it has taken no less than six years to get to this point. That's six years since my constituents lost out on £39 million at Lisvane, when the land was sold on the cheap to an offshore company, and £7 million at Rhoose in the Vale of Glamorgan.

I'm limited, as we've been told, as to what I can ask, because of the legal proceedings, but you've clearly built up a body of evidence in order to sue the firms that were advising on the sale of the land. So, will you be providing that evidence to South Wales Police and the Serious Fraud Office, and will you call for the criminal investigation to be reopened?
