Cabinet Secretary, can I say I've not seen such an elegant button hole since William Graham was a regular in the Chamber?

You will be aware that the 2016 Tour of Britain event was a huge success for the Cynon valley, not only its economic benefits, but also for the promotion of cycling. I know it's at the elite level, but the rest of us can take inspiration. I believe the 2018 route is about to be announced, and RCT were looking to host the departure stage. It's very important, I think, that we get across to people the health benefits, and also the benefits in the speed of journeys that you can get from cycling, and it's a great opportunity when these big sporting events come along to do that as well.
