That's the point, isn't it? It's about fairness, isn't it? The current agreement doesn't reflect a fair price, particularly when Welsh Water customers face the second highest bills in the whole of England and Wales. Now, it's six years since the UK Government promised to transfer the power to Wales over all of our water resources and infrastructure, not just those controlled by the two Welsh water companies. But to date, the provisions in the Wales Act 2017, which would have given effect to this, have not been brought into force by the UK Secretary of State. Why is that? And is the practical effect of this that the Welsh Government cannot, at the moment, legislate for example to regulate the use of Welsh water by United Utilities, who own Llyn Efyrnwy? So the water could be transferred in the future, but the power is not.

And to the point that you earlier made, can you just say a little bit about the veto power that the Welsh Government would have under those circumstances, given that the transfer of power that was promised six years ago hasn't actually happened yet?
