I've had only one meeting with the company that are bringing forward tidal lagoon proposals for Wales, but, certainly, they were looking and considering one in north Wales. I mentioned that we are supporting the demonstration zone, which I think is very important, and we have multiple developers looking at what opportunities are there. I'm very proud that Wales has two of the largest zones for demonstrating wave and tidal stream arrays, and, clearly, we'd be very happy to look at all types of marine energy that's coming forward. I visited Morlais up in Anglesey, I think in February, this year. So, I am continuing, and my officials are, to have discussions with interested parties.
