I'd like to thank the Cabinet Secretary for his statement this afternoon. Cabinet Secretary, do you feel that the lack of any financial and human resource is one of the reasons why eight local authorities did fall below your expectations? There is also some concern from the cross-party group on active travel that the implementation of legislation has been process heavy, meaning that the development of routes has been delayed and vital time has been lost. I'd be grateful for your views on that.

It does seem that, without adequate funding, local authorities will be unable to properly implement priority schemes identified in their integrated network maps, so do you recognise the concerns expressed by some local authorities that funding in Wales for active travel has historically fallen far short of what is needed to implement the active travel Act? Can I ask what considerations you've given to a distinct active travel budget with a multi-year funding settlement, as well?

So, turning to some outcomes in Wales, the recent data shows that outcomes are actually worsening, with a third of people not engaged in any activity at all, and there's been no improvement in overall numbers of people walking and cycling. So, the latest data makes it clear that progress on encouraging active travel in Wales is slipping and that one of the reasons for this, according to Sustrans Cymru's Bike Life safety study, is the need for better safety in order to get people on their bikes. Developing safe active travel infrastructure has, of course, the potential to significantly reduce congestion on our roads and help deliver public health outcomes that we would like to see. So, can I ask what you are doing to improve road safety in order to promote active travel and how do you respond to safety concerns that have been expressed by Sustrans Cymru, Cycling UK and Ramblers Cymru regarding the Welsh Government's plans for the A487 in Caernarfon, which they say would worsen safety and does not adequately cater for walking and cycling?

Finally, can I ask you, Cabinet Secretary, to consider taking personal ownership of the active travel agenda to ensure that it does have cross-departmental attention? Many of the places around the UK and Europe that have made significant progress in promoting active travel have had Ministers or mayors that seem to have personally led this agenda. I look to Andy Street, the mayor of the west midlands, as a good example of this. So, in this regard, what do you intend to do to work with your Cabinet colleagues to increase the levels of active travel programmes in schools and workplaces to support behavioural change so that schools and employees can drive the change that is needed for people to embrace active travel?
