Papers to note

Can I ask, then, before coming back to Delyth—and thank you, Delyth, for your patience—in relation to the TAN, when are we likely to see that, and is it in any way incumbent upon the Bill or is there anything that is—?

We have 20 minutes left. So, thank you for that, Minister. We have two other areas we wish to cover, which is the idling of stationary cars and soundscapes as well. So, Jenny, do you want to take us onto that section? Thanks.
