Can I just—? Because we've had a very interesting statement. I think the CLAC report that we'll discuss tomorrow is one of the best reports CLAC has ever produced and we do some heavy lifting or, if I can change the metaphor, we get pretty dirty down in the engine room. But tomorrow's debate I think is very significant and that really is about the governance arrangements we will need for shared governance.

And can I finally say that I hope the Welsh Government is thinking carefully about how the legislature here will scrutinise the Welsh Government's work ongoing in shared governance? Because we do not want the equivalent of the rather closed system they had in the EU about how governments get together and agree. We need the like of the legislature to hold you to account for what you decide and gain through those procedures in the future.
