First Minister, hopefully, the Swansea bay city deal is going to be part of the legacy that you can be proud of, but, of course, we've all been a little bit jittery about the press reports that we've had, as Dai Lloyd mentioned, over the last couple of days. I don't expect you to pre-empt the rapid review, and I'm grateful that both Governments are doing a rapid review, but is there any—? There are two projects of particular importance to me: one being the Swansea digital waterfront and the other being the steel innovation centre, and I'm just looking—. Is there anything that causes you any concern at all—bearing in mind that these particular projects have had good sign-off—that we would need to know about now, or can you reassure potential investors that concerns over one part of the deal shouldn't shake their confidence in the rest of it?
