Thank you so much, Cabinet Secretary. The good news is—. And I'm really happy to hear that from you. I have had many meetings with Mark Harper. I know, on that basis, we have had that conversation. He has not been very favourable when it comes to congestion…

Questions to the Cabinet Secretary for North Wales and Transport
Cabinet Secretary, thank you so much for your answer, and I do look forward to hearing and seeing more of those changes going forward. Now, there is one other threat that we do face, and that is of congestion charges and road charges, which have been hanging…

Thank you so much. I know I'm a newbie to the committee, but I echo again what Peredur has said. I think that each and every single one of us, regardless of which part of Wales we come from—we've all experienced various GPs getting in touch, complaining about…

Okay. May I ask, have payments like this gone out previously, because we haven't been privy to them before, in such a breakdown form? So, if they have gone out, have they gone out in excess of £300,000, £1 million? I'd be very grateful, and I'm sure the…
