And we've all heard of, and had sessions about, gender budgeting, about all that sort of thing. So, it all feeds into it, so it all helps. But, sorry, Emma.

Because that's the point—it's the implications for health, but it might have an implication, then, on social services, on transport, and it's that overarching—. It's the theme then, and then it's from that that you work out what the implication is to our…

Sorry, Peter, just on that point, which one was the largest-sized reprioritisation that you had? You talked about that one. Was it that one from Lesley Griffiths, or was it—?

It might be worth starting now, because we know how long it takes for vacant land tax to be done. So, give it 10 years, then we might have to do it. But anyway, that being that, I'll go over to Mike.

As part of that, I'd encourage you, if you have time, to speak to the enforcement board that has been set up and is trying to regulate bailiffs and that punitive method of collection, which happens, and some of the practices that happen there. I think you'd…

As part of that work, and in some casework I've been dealing with—and I'm sure it's in all our inboxes, and yours as well, Minister—it's people who are concerned about the cost of living and council tax arrears, and the fact that with council tax arrears, if…

Thank you. Just following on from what Mike was talking about in his point around council tax being an extremely regressive tax, have you considered what policies would reduce the burden of using these regressive taxes and use more progressive ones such as…

Scotland has the ability to change bands, as well as what we've got here. Would that give you more flexibility to be able to consider tweaking the amounts that you raise in each band? Would that be something that might be of benefit to Wales and your ability…

I think a comment came that a lot of it was in the appendices in the OBR report, but moving it into the body of the report might aid some of the stakeholders in understanding what was going on, especially Wales Fiscal Analysis. They were saying they were…

Lovely. Croeso cynnes. Obviously, we've had a bit of a curtailed budget scrutiny session, and we've had a few very, very interesting scrutiny sessions with stakeholders. We've got a raft of questions for you, as you'd expect, so we'll move on. Obviously, this…
