You pointed out that it was not part of your job, and I was pointing out that that was hilarious. 

Our transport strategy, 'Llwybr Newydd', sets out the path that we need to take, but implementation of that strategy requires fair funding from the UK Government. Transport causes 17 per cent of our carbon emissions and has been the slowest sector to reduce emissions. Improving this trend requires radical action to move more journeys to active travel and public transport, and reduce car use.

Wrong approaches to transport have become embedded—approaches that the Welsh Conservatives are intent on keeping, when the science is telling us to do the total opposite. Road schemes are predicated on the idea that traffic growth is inevitable—the view that the economy will grind to a halt unless we provide more space for cars. The climate emergency demands that we abandon this misguided thinking. That’s why we announced a freeze on road building and established the roads review panel.

Road building will no longer be the default response. Instead, existing infrastructure to create new bus and cycle lanes that give people a viable and attractive alternative is what we champion. Yesterday, we laid legislative changes to reduce the default speed limit on Welsh roads from 30 mph to 20 mph. This change will be world-leading. It will save lives, make our streets safer for playing, walking and cycling, and encourage the modal shift that we are seeking.

On buses, a totally new approach is necessary because of the deliberate political decision by the Conservative Government to deregulate and privatise the bus network in 1985. That has led to a bus system designed to primarily serve commercial interests rather than the public interest. In the face of this market failure, we will intervene to build a better system—one that works for passengers, reaches our climate goals and tackles social injustice.

On rail, we have neither the appropriate devolution of rail infrastructure nor a fair funding settlement. If Wales had its share of the HS2 project, we would have £5 billion—billion—into our block grant, enabling us to improve investment into the railway system. We need the UK Government to fulfil their responsibilities to improve the rail network in Wales.

I will, of course, have a lot to say about charting a new course for transport for Wales. We were groundbreaking in introducing our active travel Act. Our approach to transport is underpinned by the well-being of future generations Act. All decisions will be taken considering the long-term consequences for those who have not been born yet.

Building on these foundations, 'Llwybr Newydd' takes a bold new approach. It focuses on three simple priorities: firstly, reduce the need to travel; secondly, allow people and goods to move more easily from door to door by sustainable forms of transport; and thirdly, encourage people to make the change to more sustainable transport.

On bus, we will implement a new model for services, one that will enable us and local authorities to work together to purposefully design our bus networks; one that serves our communities under a fully contracted franchising system. This is the most far-reaching bus franchising plan in the UK, and a vital step to reverse the damage of Tory deregulation. That legislation will take time, so in parallel we're working with the bus industry to make improvements to passenger experience, and these steps are laid out in 'Bws Cymru', our bus plan. 

Our ambitious plans for the metro build on evidence from around the world that shows that if you want people to use public transport it needs to be 'turn up and go'. The climate emergency means the need for change is urgent, and delivering urgent change requires making difficult, transformational changes in line with our well-being goals. That is what 'Llwybr Newydd' sets out to do. We need a fairer deal to deliver it in total. Devolution would bring benefits to decarbonisation and encourage modal shift. But the UK Government has consistently rejected our request for devolution and continuously fails to invest in Wales, including refusing to electrify the main south Wales coast rail line to Swansea—an absolute scandal. We call on them to finally get on board and help us achieve the better transport the people of Wales need and deserve. Find some solutions and stop running Wales down. Diolch.
