First Minister, I had a very beneficial meeting with the Isle of Anglesey Tourism Association last week. And I'd like to thank the sector for responding so well to the difficult situation that they face, with so many of their members facing grave losses. I would be delighted to see them restarting their businesses, but that's impossible at the moment.

There's a bank holiday on its way the weekend after next. We cannot afford to open the floodgates on that weekend, so could I invite the First Minister to make a clear statement that we will not, in any way, relax the rules and regulations that could make people think that they would be welcome to return to Wales to spend time in the beautiful areas that we do have here? That’s for another time. So, can we have that statement today, please?
