As with all suggestions coming from Assembly Members, we welcome those suggestions that will help us make access to the Assembly safer as well as being much more accessible.

Just to broaden it out, just a little, on your question earlier, we note and welcome that the local authority, which, of course, is responsible for the local infrastructure with regard to bikes, has plans for five new cycle tracks, including one that runs from the city centre to the bay. We provide extensive facilities, as you know from your last question, to promote active travel, including those for cycling, walking, and latterly, of course, we've introduced electric vehicle charging points. We continue to work with Sustrans to raise awareness amongst Assembly staff of the availability of sustainable travel routes both across the city and Wales in general. I know the Member for Ogmore takes a keen interest in the subject of active travel and is also an advocate of it and, indeed, leads by example, I think. But can I assure him that the Commission has a firm commitment to provide the best possible facilities for cyclists on the Assembly estate and we will continue to announce those facilities as space and opportunity permits?
