Can I thank Mick Antoniw for the points that he has raised and the questions that he's asked? He's absolutely right that we need to avoid any race to the bottom. In so doing, we have to ensure that those standards that I talked of earlier are of the highest quality, and ensure that we can compete with those new disruptive entrants into the market on the basis of standards and safety. It has to be said that oversupply has been suppressing wages. So, in terms of cross-bordering, there is no doubt that the legislation that will be introduced in the next term is vitally important in raising wage levels for taxi and private hire vehicle drivers.

Of course, Mick Antoniw points to the essential role that taxis and private hire vehicle drivers have played during the whole of the pandemic, ensuring that key workers and NHS equipment have been able to be transported safely and reliably. I am incredibly grateful to the industry for playing its part in rising to the national effort. I know that the Deputy Minister for Economy and Transport was due today to make a statement on activities within the Valleys taskforce. That will now take place on 8 December, and I'm sure that he will have something to say then about some of the pilots that have been taking place regarding public transport. Recognising the vital role that taxis and private hire vehicles play in the Valleys, I'm sure that he'll have something to say regarding the services that they operate in those communities that Mick Antoniw and other Members represent so well.
