Well, Llywydd, I think the Welsh Government has recognised the need for the board of NRW to be strengthened. That's why we have a new and distinguished interim chair of the board. That's why the board has been reinforced by, I believe, five new members appointed by the Minister, including members with experience in land management. It's to that board that we must now look to take the actions that are necessary to address the findings in the Grant Thornton report and to work with the Public Accounts Committee and others to make sure that the deficits that have been identified are put right, and that this very important organisation that does very necessary and important work across Wales every single day is able to get on with those important duties, confident in the culture that it has and in the structures that are there to support it.
