Just finally from me, if I may, what engagement do you have then with residents as this matures over time and if things are—? Inevitably, there's going to be some falling out, or there's going to be some people saying, 'Well, that's not being done. I thought…

And that price element, is that something that, on a new estate especially, would be costed and explained to people as they're buying the property, or would it come out later? How does that process work?

So, what have you found would be best practice from your experience? Where have systems been put in place that have worked well, that you've engaged with residents? We're trying to tease out some of the good stuff that you've been doing over the years.

I'll try and be brief. Thank you so much for your presentation and the report. Something you said—and maybe you can talk a little bit more about it—is that the perception of the Senedd compared to Westminster is slightly better for the Senedd compared to…

Short Debate: Increasing the use of public transport: Why young people should travel for free
Will you take an intervention on that? You're talking about all the things there, and, obviously, that would frame the way that it's a demand-led service. We've heard a lot when we've been talking about budgets about the demand not being there, but they're…

Now on to the specific aspects of the Bill. It's disappointing that the costs that could be incurred by communities as a result of this Bill were not estimated in the RIA. Whilst the streamlining of the new consenting regime should lead to a reduction in…
