For the record, my postbag is full of people who don't want to see the destruction of the Gwent levels, which some of them are describing as the equivalent of the Amazon basin. So, that is certainly a particular concern of many, many of my constituents.

However, I completely agree with the motion. We need to ensure that the new Government has options available because, looking back, it's five years since Mark Barry's report, 'A Metro for Wales’ Capital City Region' made the case for a step change in regional public transport connectivity and the adoption of an integrated city region economic transport and land use plan. We are a very long way from that, and we have ignored the fact that, two years later, the Cardiff capital region board's 'Powering the Welsh Economy' pointed out that an integrated transport system, aligned with land use planning, could be a catalyst for economic change across the region. And at the heart of this aspiration, they say, is the metro vision for a modern, high-quality, multimodal integrated public transport network. Hurrah. I completely agree with that. And we have to acknowledge that it is simply unsustainable to have 100,000 people commuting into Cardiff and Newport by car for both climate change and public health reasons. This is simply something that hasn't been properly considered in the inquiry. Given that it costs exactly the same per kilometre to build a rail line as a motorway and yet the rail line can carry between eight and 20 times more people, that, in my view, is where the investment needs to go, in line with the Well-being of Future Generations (Wales) Act 2015—inspirational legislation created by Carl Sargeant.

Now, we've just heard the pleas from the Member for Torfaen—I'm sorry she's not here at the moment. But earlier on she was talking about the need to have trains stopping in Pontypool so that people could commute by train to their jobs, and I absolutely agree with that. We simply aren't going to distribute growth across the region unless we have that connectivity. If I want to start a new business, I'm much more likely to want to locate it in Pontypool than in Cardiff, simply because the rents are going to be cheaper. We've had this very expensive public inquiry going on for months about 14 miles of road, and this has meant, sadly, policy paralysis and not nearly enough attention paid to the public transport infrastructure that this region needs.

So, I want to see a lot more work being done by the Government, old and new, coming in as a matter of urgency on the public transport options, which were absent from the public inquiry. For example, how can we use the four lines running east of Cardiff Central? Two of them have to be dedicated to the so-called high-speed lines to London and elsewhere. We can have a debate about that, but the other two lines are not being appropriately deployed to provide many more train services running to and from the east of Cardiff for local traffic, and I want to understand why that is, because there are four lines and we're not using them. So—
