I agree largely with the spirit of consensus, actually, which has characterised the debate if not the motion. I hope that we'll be able to move forward on the basis of this. I've campaigned for devolution all my life. I'm facing retirement now, and the people of Blaenau Gwent might insist that I retire in a couple of years' time, but I hope that we will be able to settle some of these questions and settle the question of devolved Government in this country. For 20 years, this place has grown. I think it has grown within the hearts and minds of the people, as well as grown in stature in the country and also with the powers that it has accrued and used in that time. I'm convinced in my own mind that it is time now for us—
