Thank you very much. Thank you for your patience, Heledd. We will now return to your questions, but thanks to the Ministers for their comprehensive answers there.

Right. Vaughan.

I'd certainly welcome having that information. If I could just make another appeal for brevity, I'm very aware that other Members will need to be coming back to questions. If we could have a relatively brief answer to those wide-ranging points that Alun just…

Thank you for that, Minister. Minister, Vaughan, before we bring you in, I think Alun Davies had a supplementary he wanted to ask just on that point, and then I promise we will come back to you, Heledd.

Just before I come back to Heledd, I think Carolyn Thomas wanted to come in on that point. Carolyn is still on mute.

Thank you, Hefin. We will therefore move to Heledd and come back to Alun when he returns.

Thank you; I would appreciate receiving that information when it is available. I wanted to move on to questions from committee members. Is Alun Davies still with us? I can't see him on the screen. I think that we may have lost Alun.

Thank you for that, Dawn. Can you give us any more specific examples that you'd want us to look at? And if you could write to us as a committee with some of those examples, then we would certainly appreciate that. Finally from me now, on the proposal to sell…

Thank you for that, Minister. Moving on to a different topic, a number of committee members will be eager to ask you about your priorities in this portfolio, but one of the specifics I wanted to ask—I noticed that there was no reference to the Welsh language…

Thank you for the detail on that, Minister. The final thing I just wanted to ask on this is—and, again, I take completely what you're saying, that a decision will be communicated later in the week—how much—? Again, if the decision were to be to introduce them…

Thank you for that, Minister. I'm sure lots of entertainment bodies who will be listening to what you have to say will be waiting with interest to hear what the decision will be at the end of the week. So, in terms of—

Okay. Thank you for that, Minister. Could I ask then what specific objectives you think that vaccine passports would need to meet for the Welsh Government to introduce them—whether that's specific impact that they'd have on transmission within venues or any…
