Okay, I will speak very, very slowly. And so, I will move to voting time. To be honest, I need to find the correct screen too. And so, the first vote this afternoon will be on item 6, the Welsh Conservatives' debate on free ports. And I call for a vote on the motion, tabled in the name of Darren Millar. Open the vote. In favour 14, no abstentions, and 37 against. And therefore, the motion is not agreed.
