Diolch yn fawr, Llywydd. Thank you very much. It's very pleasing to see that there's been such progress on this work at such an incredibly difficult time, when the staff of the Commission have had so many pressures on them. It's also, of course, been very pleasing to see the Youth Parliament continuing its work. Have you been able to make or will you be able to make any assessment about what the registration rate is for that group of young people? Will we be able to know, perhaps by the autumn, where people are registering and where they're not, and might that then be a case for the Commission targeting its resources further if we find that, with particular groups of young people or in particular geographical areas, we haven't got the levels of registration that we would all wish to see?
