Diolch, Llywydd, and can I say what a pleasure it is to close today's Welsh Conservative debate on business rates? I'll be very brief in my closing. I want to thank Members for their contributions, raising important points around the fact that, in Wales, business rates are the highest in Great Britain. Plaid Cymru, of course, raised their proposal for a single land and property tax. I think Peter Fox very clearly outlined why there are concerns about that. I would call, Llywydd, on all Members to support our Welsh Conservative motion and oppose Welsh Government and Plaid amendments today. Diolch yn fawr iawn.
