Deputy Minister, you will know that the content of this statement will have a big impact on residents in my constituency, particularly children, who are significantly impacted by the air pollution that this investment was supposed to address. Can I ask you, Minister, how confident are you that this will be addressed by the outcome of the review and that any future measures will have a measurable impact on air pollution on roads in Alyn and Deeside? 

Secondly, Minister, you will know that businesses in my constituency need people to travel across north Wales and the north-west of England to work—to travel to work in them, and also to connect efficiently with their supply chain across that region. Can I ask you how confident, therefore, you are that this review will answer the questions those businesses are asking when considering important investment decisions in Alyn and Deeside?
