I do recognise the argument that you put in—that you want it now, and you want it delivered in 2021—but in the commitment that was signed up to by quite a number of existing cross-party Members today to do this, absolutely, but to do it by 2026, recognising a certain realpolitik in order to achieve that, it isn’t only Labour and a couple of Conservative Members and Liberal Democrats and so on, but it is some notable members of Plaid Cymru—people who led Plaid Cymru—who are on that list as well, former Assembly Members here. So, I would ask him simply to recognise that there may indeed be a shared objective here, but the question is how we can build the consensus and achieve this together beyond today’s debate.
