I'd like to thank the Cabinet Secretary for his statement this afternoon. The Cabinet Secretary will be aware that the devolution of Network Rail funding in Wales was, of course, examined by the Silk commission and discussed during the St David's Day process, and no consensus on that issue was achieved.

Presiding Officer, I would say that the Cabinet Secretary, like me, has always been a great advocate of cross-border working, and on that basis, does the Cabinet Secretary acknowledge that the nature of the rail network means that it can be misleading to align the benefits with the place where the infrastructure investment is made? It is important, I think, to address the wider historical structural issues beyond our borders that have prevented the rail network from offering good customer service, efficiency and value for money. We shouldn't just focus on investments within our own borders; many investments that are technically in England will, of course, benefit Wales, and I wonder whether the Cabinet Secretary would agree with me on that point.

The Cabinet Secretary knows, of course, that the allocation of transport funding in Wales and England is not done on a per-head-of-population basis. Spending goes where it is most needed and where it delivers the greatest value for money. Decisions are based on rigorous and fair appraisal processes. So, can I ask the Cabinet Secretary: is he asking for or suggesting a departure from this funding regime?

And while I am talking about the current funding regime, which has resulted in the UK Government investing in Wales through a number of different projects, perhaps it's just worth detailing those: £2.8 billion to modernise the Great Western main line; £5.7 billion investment in brand-new trains, which will cut journey times from south Wales to London; £16 million to reinstate the Halton curve; accelerating the delivery of HS2 to Crewe; £50 million for the north Wales signalling improvements; £4 million from the new stations fund for Bow Street in Aberystwyth and £2 million for Pye Corner; £300 million for signalling improvements in Cardiff station; and recently, in my own constituency, the closing of a number of roads in Talerddig with new infrastructure and a bridge there as well. My point, Presiding Officer, is: does the Cabinet Secretary agree with me that our focus on rail infrastructure should be on what is the benefit of a particular project to Welsh passengers rather than where it is?

And finally, in last year's autumn budget, the UK Government provided, of course, a £1.2 billion boost to the Welsh Government's budget. So, can I ask what is the Welsh Government's commitment from its own budget for Wales infrastructure investment going forward?
