Thank you very much, Deputy Presiding Officer. I won't repeat the points that have been made, just thank the Minister and everybody else for their contributions. I think the nature of the discussion reflects how broad are the areas that this short inquiry tried to address and, clearly, how broad is the work that needs to be done by us as a committee, and the Government, of course, in that context.

Just a few points, perhaps, that were raised and that I didn't touch on in my introduction. Clearly, the Crown Estate is key. There is a completely central role there, and I'm pleased to see that the Government now is on the same page as a number of us when it comes to devolving some of those powers. I know that the majority view, perhaps, in the committee would be that, but certainly it's an opportunity for us to see a real difference. And I look forward to welcoming the new chief executive of the Crown Estate here to the Senedd next week, and hopefully it'll be an opportunity to develop some of the points and these discussions.
