I think that was an answer to the previous question. [Laughter.] Now, it’s very possible, in light of what the Llywydd has said, that she won’t be able to answer this question, but she will be able to convey the message to the Commission side on the board. I noticed recently that the future generations commissioner had written to all pension funds in the public sector in Wales outlining how to decarbonise pension investments. I also realise that these pension funds, for example, have come together to offer an investment in the Swansea bay tidal lagoon, and they are seeking these opportunities. So, two questions, therefore: is the Assembly pension board part of the public sector regime in Wales? And, secondly, has the board received this letter from the commissioner, and what actions are being taken as a result of that?
