I pay tribute to the Member and other Members for the amount of work that they have done on the APG. I do not sit on the APG, but I know that it is really important.

As friends and colleagues can attest, I have little interest in sport, and I had little experience of gambling until I attended the all-party group on reducing harm related to gambling, which was an eye-opening experience.

Minister, the ETS is important to reducing our greenhouse gas emissions and enabling us to achieve net zero in accordance with the Climate Change Act.

I thank the Member for that question.

The Member is quite right: the £113 million is a condition of the financial package and relates to the write-off of £559 million of overspends that were accrued while the Executive were being underfunded. It is our view, therefore, that there should not have been any conditions. Income generation, in my view, must be…

I thank the Minister for her detailed answer. I am thinking a little bit ahead. Earlier, the Minister talked about the cost of doing business research that is being carried out by the university.
