Thank you for giving way, Paul. I appreciate what you're saying about getting some of these decisions down to a local area. In fact, that's what the strategic group looking at regional funding within Wales was looking at, based on the very best OECD models. I had the privilege of chairing it for a while. But, what they didn't suggest was, in any way, bypassing the policy framework in Wales at a national level. They actually recognised the need for partnership and working within that context. Why has the UK Government chosen to, effectively, bypass this devolved institution and Welsh Government?
