Thank you very much, Deputy Presiding Officer. Minister, I very much welcome the statement you've made this afternoon, and welcome what lies behind it as well. I think it is a refreshing statement that certainly creates a very real vision for the future.

There are three things I'd like to raise with you after the statement. It will be no surprise to you that I very much welcome the funding for the rail enhancements on the Ebbw valley line. This is something that we've been arguing for and campaigning for for some time. The UK Government has walked away from its responsibilities on rail for some time, and it's good to see the Welsh Government stepping in and doing the UK's job for it, and I appreciate that very much. It would be useful for us to understand—this may be something that you would wish to write to me and other Members on—how you see the £70 million unlocking further developments on the line over the coming years, now that we can see the movement towards four trains an hour, other enhancements such as the station in Abertillery and other matters, and how you see development on the line through the next Senedd.

The second question is on the bus industry. I very much agree with the approach being taken by the Welsh Government on the re-regulation of buses. I think the deregulation of the 1980s has been one of the most catastrophic and long-lasting failures of the Thatcher Governments, but the bus industry itself is an industry that's on the edge. We've seen a number of different companies falling into bankruptcy and administration over recent years, and the Welsh Government already spends a huge amount of funding on bus services. And it might well be that the economy of buses at the moment isn't working, and it would be useful to understand how the Welsh Government sees the re-regulation in economic terms and not simply in terms of service enhancement, because there's clearly a structural issue in the economy of bus services at the moment that we need to address.

And the final question is this on active travel. I very much agree with the thrust of policy in this area, but it will be no surprise to the Minister—I have raised this with him before—that it is considerably easier to cycle your way around a city on a coastal plain than it is to cycle your way around Blaenau Gwent in the Heads of the Valleys. Where I'm sitting here at the moment, I've got Sirhowy hill just to my east, and if I wanted to visit the Aneurin Bevan memorial, which is probably about 1.5 km from where I'm sitting at the moment, it would involve quite a considerable hill to get there, and also to get to my nearest supermarket. So, how do you ensure that active travel isn't simply a policy of the cities and the suburban commuter belt in and around Cardiff, Swansea or Newport, and that it is actually something that those of us who live in the Valleys—and in the Heads of the Valleys in this instance—are able to enjoy as well, because at the moment I worry that the policy is too focused on the cities, and not focused enough on the towns of Wales?
