I think there are two questions in there, Llywydd, as well as the invite. The question about the invite: in principle, yes, and I'll happily work with you to look to find an appropriate opportunity to come to Shotton. I think the other question is about how we look at what we can do to invest around that, what companies are prepared to do themselves, and what certainties the Welsh Government can provide, and you'll have heard Julie James talk about modern methods of construction on a number of occasions in the past, both before the previous election and since the election as well. I think there are real opportunities in the way we see different parts of Government activity and how they can benefit the industries here in Wales, so I'll happily take up the formalities of the diary engagements and work with you to have a visit to Shotton and broader engagement that I look forward to continuing with in north Wales.
