Llywydd, I thank Helen Mary Jones for those further questions. I definitely do join with her in congratulating those public services that did such a remarkable job at the time so that an environmental disaster on an even greater scale was averted. And I was hearing only this week from Lee Waters, the Member for Llanelli, of his visit to the site on Friday of last week, when he was able to see for himself the scale of the remedial work that has been carried out. And through him and through others, of course, I am aware of the impact on cockle gatherers particularly of the fact that they were unable to carry out their normal activities while the level of environmental contaminants in the estuary were being surveyed. It is right, as Helen Mary Jones was implying, that the polluter in the end must pay for the damage that has been done, but the rail accident investigation branch work is not coming rapidly to a conclusion.

In that context, I know that my colleague Lesley Griffiths is expecting to receive advice in the next 10 days or so as to whether or not it is possible to devise a scheme through the Welsh Government in which some interim assistance to those industries could be supplied. Now, I cannot anticipate the nature of the advice that the Minister will get, but I know that she has been very keen to obtain that advice from her officials in case it is possible, before the rail accident investigation is completed, to offer some assistance to those who have been most directly affected.
