They're both correct, Llywydd, because they're certainly not polar opposites. There is no plan to move the festival itself from its current successful site, but there is more that those who are responsible for the festival believe that they can do to contribute to the economy of that part of Wales, building on the success of their business. To do that they need more space in which to be able to develop those further possibilities. That's what lies behind the arrangements. I read the transcript of my colleague Vaughan Gething's exchanges on the floor here last week. That's what motivates all of that—it is to build on one of the most successful businesses that we have in that part of Wales. I'm surprised, Llywydd, to find the Welsh Conservatives so adamantly opposed to a successful business.
