Thank you, Deputy Minister, for your statement today. I welcome the work of the pavement parking taskforce and I recognise the impact that parking on pavements has on pedestrians, particularly those with mobility issues, pushchairs, and wheelchair users. But representing the Valleys, steeped with many beautiful but narrow terraced streets, I'm sure you won't be surprised to hear that I'm also pleased to see the pragmatic approach contained in recommendations 2 and 3 that, in some areas, it will be necessary to make exemptions and allow pavement parking.

With streets like that that have been built 150 or more years ago, we can understand the problems that arise there, but what I would like to ask you is: what discussions have you had with the Minister for Housing and Local Government about the way that the big builders build modern housing estates, in many cases with very narrow roads and a lack of parking for households, that mean that pavement parking is an issue there, in areas where, really, those developments should have been built to allow for proper parking and the proper use of pavements? That is an area that I would like to see the Welsh Government focusing on in future.

You also mention your work with the FSB, and I wonder whether part of these discussions have touched on the number of people now who take work vans home and park them outside their houses. It's certainly an issue that very many constituents raise with me when they're unable to park outside their own homes, particularly in these narrow terraced streets. I'm not sure what can be done about it, but I would welcome your thoughts on that in reply. And—
