Diolch, Dirprwy Lywydd, and thank you for allowing me a couple of extra seconds on this. First of all, thank you very much to the Minister and to Dai Lloyd for their contributions. Part of having this debate was to give the Minister an opportunity to explain to us all quite what the volume of this work looks like, but that doesn't let Ministers off the hook either from giving us the fullest relevant explanation to help us be satisfied that you're doing the right thing on our behalf. So, I was delighted to hear that you said you get really the fullest advice from your officials. While we don’t necessarily want something the size of a stamp, if you could get something that's in between what we're getting now and what, perhaps, you're getting from your officials, I think that would bring some reassurance to us as a Parliament that we're doing the right thing in trusting your judgment.

And can I just apologise that you got stuck with this particular debate, because the point is a general one to all members of Government, and not just to the poor Minister who has had to respond today? Thank you.
