Leader of the house, on 14 February, earlier this year, I proposed an individual Member debate on the issue of unadopted roads. It was a debate that saw contributions from across the Chamber and was passed unanimously. One of the outcomes of the motion was to establish a taskforce, which was done under the remit of the Cabinet Secretary for transport. After a subsequent written question from myself in April this year, the Cabinet Secretary confirmed that he was expecting the taskforce to complete its work in early 2019. Given that the taskforce was supported by Members across the Chamber, many of us look forward to seeing the recommendations that will be put forward, but Members have heard very little in terms of any progress being made thus far. I wonder, therefore, whether the Cabinet Secretary would be prepared to provide a written statement to all Members to outline the projected completion date, and also detailing any consultation undertaken by the taskforce and an interim summary of where the taskforce has got with its work. Thank you.
