Well, it isn't the case, of course, that north Wales does not get its fair share of funding. I'm just having a look at the figures on capital spend, which I have in front of me, and they show that the total projected cost of capital spend in the most recent year, for which we have those figures, is £2.5 million, and that is actually the second highest of all the regions. And that's just the first figure that I have in front of me. So, I think that the figures don't bear it out, and as much as it would come to the Member's disappointment, those arguments just aren't valid.
