Diolch, Llywydd. Cabinet Secretary, I'll keep my comments brief. I acknowledge what you're saying about not losing sight of the considerable success in the scheme, but inevitably, it's the sore thumb that gets attention. You said that work is ongoing to streamline the voucher scheme. I just want to raise with you the case of my constituents in Bynea in Llanelli, who've been very frustrated that Openreach would not install fibre optic broadband and each of them have to apply for an Access Broadband Cymru voucher to enable them to commission an independent supplier. They've now been waiting 11 weeks. They have speeds of 0.04 to 0.6 Mbps, and understandably, they are very frustrated. So, I wonder if you could offer them any comfort.
