That's not how you do it. But was the maintenance done, the painting and so on, robust enough? Certainly, I've seen rust. More than usual? I don't know; I'm not an engineer. But was the Welsh Government sufficiently monitoring how UK Highways was carrying out its work? And is it the job of UK Highways to identify problems earlier—a preventative maintenance schedule—or to respond to problems as they arose? I would very much hope that the requirements of the contract required proactivity.

We must put safety first, of course, but we also need a thorough assessment as to whether closure was the only option. Could we move more quickly, safely, to reopen? Am I right in understanding that it's assessment that will happen over the next three or four months, and that the maintenance work could take longer than that? 

Let's turn to the final point. I and others have warned on this for a long time. We need a new crossing. The Welsh Government had pledged to deliver a new crossing, and it still hasn't happened. There's a price to pay for delay—a price in pounds, when inflation is so high, but also a community price too. The fact that the Wylfa programme came to an end is often blamed, but let's be clear: it wasn't a response to a traffic problem; that's not why we need a dual carriageway where the Britannia bridge is. Yes, it's annoying to wait in a queue to cross, but, in reality, it is resilience that we're talking about here. There are two crossings, and one of them is a 200-year-old suspension bridge.

I almost got the Welsh Government's agreement to get a three-lane peak-flow system, but Government engineers ultimately decided that the bridge was too narrow for that, particularly given that traffic joins the Britannia bridge at a high speed. Perhaps we could look at implementing something like that on a temporarily basis now. But the reality is that we need a permanent solution, a resilient solution. It's one thing to be an island, it's another thing to be isolated, and that is the reality that's been highlighted now. I look forward to hearing a renewed commitment to restart, as a matter of urgency, the work of developing a new crossing.
