I want to speak in support of the LCM before us today. Notwithstanding that support, I do think it's extremely disrespectful for letters to be going from committees of this Senedd and that correspondence not to be receiving a response. That is unacceptable and needs to be dealt with.

I think the reality is here that the Welsh Government, of course, have always been opposed to this Bill because they were opposed to Brexit. That's the reality. You were very happy for the EU to hold subsidy control powers, and I didn't once hear a peep in this Chamber during the time that we were a member of the EU, from any Welsh Government Minister, complaining about the fact that those subsidy control powers were held in Brussels. But now, as a party and a Government, you seem to be taking a very political stance against the UK Government holding those very same powers, which I believe is potentially damaging for Welsh businesses.

The UK Government has gone above and beyond trying to work and engage with the Welsh Government, and indeed the other devolved administrations, to help address some of the concerns that you have outlined today. But, of course, unfortunately, those efforts appear to have been fruitless. Here's the reality: we have left the European Union and we are no longer bound by the bureaucratic and burdensome EU state-aid rules, except in limited circumstances because of article 10 of the Northern Ireland protocol. For the very first time, we here in the UK have the freedom to design a domestic subsidy control regime that reflects our strategic interests and particular circumstances. A UK-wide subsidy control regime is necessary to ensure that subsidies—[Interruption.] I'll happily take an intervention.
