You did, Presiding Officer. Thank you very much, Presiding Officer. Business manager, could I have a statement from the health Minister, please, in relation to the new variants that are currently being identified across the United Kingdom? I appreciate there's a vaccination statement later on this afternoon, but I don't think it is appropriate to mix the two up, to be honest with you, and a direct statement from the Minister would be beneficial for Members to understand what actions the Welsh Government is taking, along with other Governments across the UK, especially in relation to the new Kent variant, E484K, given the high incidence of the Kent variant in Wales, and, obviously, the travel restrictions that have been imposed in relation to the Brazilian variant.
