Well, I don't read The Daily Telegraph, and I'd advise the Member not to either. I think you make a serious point about Rhyl and, as somebody from north-east Wales, I know Rhyl very well. And you're quite right—some significant funding has gone into the regeneration of Rhyl, and certainly your predecessor, Ann Jones, always ensured that, for whatever money was around, Rhyl was absolutely at the top of every Minister's list when they had a look. I visited Denbighshire County Council last year. We did a day of visits, and I spent a significant part of that day in Rhyl, and it was very pleasing to see the investment that had gone into a number of significant investments—looking at the market, for instance, and the other plans that Denbighshire council has for it. And, alongside that, not just making it a pleasant place to visit, if you look at the funding that's gone into, for instance, flooding defence, because I think that's very important when we talk about seaside towns.
