And just to conclude, Dirprwy Lywydd, I am very fond of the reference to eradicating all kinds of food waste. The Plaid Cymru manifesto called for targets to halve food waste from farm to fork by 2030. It appears that 400,000 tonnes of food is wasted every year by homes in Wales.

So, I conclude by saying this: it is possible that Government might argue that all of this could be done in a different way, but there's a major difference between 'the Government could do it' and 'they will do it'. And what this Bill ensures is that the Government will get to grips with this issue, because I do think that this is what future generations deserve. Thank you very much.
