Diolch, Jane. I think that that is certainly—. It's exactly these kinds of radical—well, it shouldn't be radical, but radical ideas, thinking outside the box—bold—that need to be thought of, because as has been—. Jenny's made this point; other people have…

Papers to note
Diolch, Cadeirydd. Yes, on 4.4 as well, I would echo what Jenny has said. I think that this is of serious significance, not just for the area, but the implications for what could happen elsewhere. I would certainly support us having a short inquiry on it.
