Well, this is the point that I was going to come on to. One suggestion that has been offered to me by local police officers in Dyfed-Powys Police is that the rural crime commissioners themselves, or the police and crime commissioners themselves, are able to contribute to the funding of this position to secure its long-term future. And that's something that I would like to explore—seeing the four police and crime commissioners of Wales coming together, working together to support Rob in his work and that future funding. 

Therefore, in conclusion, Llywydd, I would like to ask and be interested to learn if the Minister has  had any discussions with the UK Government or her Cabinet colleagues to secure the long-term future of this important position. Diolch.
