Thank you, Deputy Presiding Officer. I'd like to start by clearly thanking Members for their contributions and for this opportunity to respond. As I stated in Plenary just last week, this is a bridge owned by another Government, and we've made repeated calls in the past for transfer of ownership of the crossing to Welsh Government. However, these calls have historically been resisted. Therefore, it is a UK Government decision whether or not to hold a public consultation on naming the bridge. The request to ask the UK Government to rethink its decision was also raised last week. But to reiterate, the Welsh Government will not be asking the UK Government to rethink its decision.

I have to say, at times, it's concerned me that, sometimes, the language that's been used, not in this Chamber but certainly on social media, would suggest that people who support the royal family are less Welsh than those who don't, that you're less Welsh if you support the naming of the Severn crossing the Prince of Wales Crossing. I would urge all citizens of Wales to be more tolerant of other views and to support the diversity of views. I wouldn't wish anybody outside of Wales to think that we do not tolerate other people's views and opinions. I'd also rather we focus on the removal of the tolls of the bridge rather than the renaming of it. There was an informed and meaningful cross-party support in the Senedd for the removal of the tolls on both bridges, as well as amongst business and industry. This support, I really do strongly believe, enabled us to construct a powerful and consistent case for the UK Government for their removal, which I believe played no small part in the UK Government's eventual decision.

If we look to the future, as Russell George has said, productivity of the Welsh economy is set to be boosted by over £100 million per year. It's essential, as we exit the EU, that we take every opportunity to promote Wales globally and, indeed, at every single level. Removal of the tolls sends a very strong message internationally that Wales is open to business, and that there are no barriers to the free movement of traffic between us and England and the rest of the UK. I now call on the UK Government to ensure that there are no barriers between us and the rest of Europe.

Now, as a Government, public engagement is key to our policy making. Indeed, under the Well-being of Future Generations (Wales) Act 2015, the ways of working determine that we must work in a collaborative way, in which people are participating fully. We will continue to consult with the public on proposals for our own assets in Wales to help to drive quality of place and local identity. I'm pleased to confirm that we will conduct local consultations on the naming of new trunk road bridges in Wales. We are currently considering consulting on the naming of the Gateway bridge at Brynmawr for section 2 of the A465, and I've recently begun discussions with Flintshire County Council over the naming of what's known currently as the new Flintshire bridge; it is the gateway to Wales in the north. And I'm also keen to conduct a local consultation over the naming of the third Menai crossing. I must stress that these will be local consultations, giving the people of their communities they provide identity for the say over their names.

I look forward to seeing what these local consultations result in, and I would urge all politicians, and all people, wherever they represent, and wherever they reside, to respect the views of local people, regardless of whether they choose a royal name or not for the infrastructure that lends them and their communities their identity.
