Can I thank the Minister for his statement and announcement this afternoon? I think it's right that the Welsh Government has brought forward world-leading legislation in regard to the active travel Act, but, of course, legislation by itself is not enough—there needs to be action as well, and we haven't seen that action. There's been significant underperformance—we've not seen the level of walking and cycling that we need to see, in terms of what the ambition of the Act was meant to do back in 2013. The Deputy Minister also pointed out in his opening comments that we've rehearsed these arguments in the Chamber before, so I'm not going to dwell on those. But I would like to welcome the very honest statement that's been brought forward today. I very much appreciate the tone of the Deputy Minister's statement—it's a reality check of where we are, and I thank him for his honesty in the assessment of where we're at.

I'm very pleased that the committee's work has seemed to have significantly influenced the Government's thinking as well, in terms of changes in policies that you've detailed in your statement today. You've talked about training for local authorities, integrated network maps, making those small changes that are needed to make a difference. And as you were reading your statement, it was almost as if you were reading the recommendations of the economy committee's report last year. So, that's very welcome, indeed.

In terms of the £30 million for active travel, I think I'm right in saying that when you were in committee last week you talked about the figure being allocated increasing from what was earmarked by a third. I'm just checking for some clarity around that. But, specifically, if I can ask, what is the size of the increase of funding against what was originally planned for this year, and how does this compare to last year's funding levels?

Also, in the economy committee's report, one of the recommendations that we made, of course, was that funding reaches £19 to £20 per head per year of capital and revenue funding. And I would just be grateful if you could confirm whether the funding that you've announce today reaches that limit, and whether you think that the recommendations from the committee and the money that you've allocated today is sufficient to achieve the Welsh Government's ambitions in regard to active travel on what you've announced today.

You were, of course, a member of the committee, Deputy Minister, when this report was being drafted and recommendations were being considered, so you're very aware of the recommendations in the committee's report, and I wonder how have you sought to prioritise the allocation of funding to address the committee report's recommendations. I don't need to go through them—you know what they are already.

And also during general scrutiny last week—and, again, you've mentioned this in your statement today—you talked about the Wales transport strategy, which will be published next year. How do you foresee active travel will feature in this updated strategy, and are you able to indicate when a draft strategy will be available for scrutiny?

And finally, you've asked local authorities for active travel data to identify gaps in active travel information. Are you able to provide more detail on how the monitoring and evaluation framework will be used in practice, particularly how it might improve value for money of investment and also lead to increased active travel rates? I'd be grateful if you could address those points. But I'm very pleased and delighted with the statement and the announcement today.
