Well, withdrawing items from the agenda for Plenary is never done lightly, and, obviously, this is something that we wanted to bring forward for colleagues to be able to discuss and question the Minister on today. But, unfortunately, we have had to change it to a written statement due to the additional coronavirus firebreak debate, which will be taking place later this afternoon. I think most people will understand that that was, under the circumstances, a reasonable thing to do. 

But I do think that Mark Isherwood has had the opportunity during the business statement to put on record the contribution that he might have sought to make later in the day, in terms of the questions and concerns he has about the draft plan to tackle fuel poverty. And I know that the Minister would welcome any further queries or contributions in writing as she continues to put in place the plan to tackle fuel poverty.
