Thank you for that answer, First Minister. Do you share my disappointment that the UK Government has buried the publication of the Dunlop review, which will contribute so much to the inter-governmental machinery we have here in the UK? Does he share with me the need to have a proper system where decisions can be taken across the UK by Governments working together? Does he agree with me there needs to be an unbiased dispute resolution process, which we don't have at the moment, and a better way where we can work with our friends in England, Scotland and Northern Ireland?

I'm aware of the fact that this is the last time that I will be speaking in the Senedd. This will not be the last time I express a view, I'm sure, on this issue. First Minister, do you look forward to a day when the UK has a proper constitution, a proper structure, a time when the rule of law is enshrined in the law and not simply a convention, and a time when Wales is a full and equal partner in the governance of the UK?
