I'd like to thank the Minister for the statement today. I agree wholeheartedly with the ambitious plans. We need to plant more trees to combat climate change and reduce the chances of more extreme weather conditions, like the rainfall that led to the flooding in February 2020. In October 2020, NRW completed their land estate management review and produced 10 key recommendations to change their current approach, as well as more specific recommendations following the floods in Pentre. Will the Minister please provide an update on how NRW have actioned each of the 10 recommendations following the review, as well as the recommendations following the flooding event in Pentre? I'm happy to receive a written answer from the Minister at a later date.
