Thank you for raising the point of order, and thank you for suggesting it during the question to alert me to the questions that were being asked by the leader of Plaid Cymru. I consider on reflection that you're correct, and that it did probably go beyond the guidance that I've issued in that case. I'll take it as an exception to the rule today. I won't expect it to be repeated again, but the leader of Plaid Cymru has the right to ask questions of scrutiny of the First Minister that don't lead to it seeming as if it is a platform for policies of that co-operation agreement. I'll live and learn from what's taken place today and we'll reflect on that for the future. I suspect that we will be returning to this matter on a number of occasions over the next few weeks, months, if not years—hopefully not years, possibly, at that point.
