Thank you for the question. The Minister has just informed me he has already accepted an invitation to attend the factory; I would also be delighted to come. I'm aware the Member is, of course, a great champion for Sony's presence in Pencoed. I think there's a real exciting opportunity. It's one of the things I want to try and focus on in this portfolio—how we harness the good practice that exists in the public and the private sector. Because we have in south Wales great sources of data richness—in the DVLA, in Companies House, in the Office for National Statistics—in Wales, alongside the example the Member just quoted of Sony, and elsewhere. How can we bring them together to harness that collective power to give Wales some kind of advantage in this field? So, we'd be delighted to come, I'm sure, and I look forward to discussing with the Member further what other opportunities there might be.
