Oh, okay. And then, can you set out your assessment of the risks involved in moving from a deregulated to a regulated bus market, including how you are managing these in the planning and delivery of franchising?

Twenty-two. Do you intend to make any significant changes to the planned approach to bus reform set out in both the 2022 White Paper and the recent 'Our Roadmap to Bus Reform'?

Is the Welsh Government—? You told North Wales Live in April that you'd consider putting the Menai crossing and other road schemes back on the table. How would this approach be consistent with the Welsh Government's climate obligations? North Wales Live…

Can you comment on the trend in road accident data overall, for all speed limits? For example, while total fatalities has decreased slightly in 2023 compared to 2022, the number of serious injuries has increased by 99 to 891. How do you rationalise this?
