I have been in and out of the meeting with another matter, so apologies if I am going over old ground. I wish Mr. Llewellyn well in his new role. I am interested in his perspective on the role of TII. Does he think the role of roads, as we have understood them for so long in terms of carrying cars, lorries and buses, is changing, in light of the sustainable future with climate targets, a transition to increasing use of public transport, an electric car fleet and increasing the use of electrified or alternative fuels for HGVs, but particularly given the significant move towards active travel, including cycling and walking? What does Mr. Llewellyn see as TII's role being in delivering on that type of change? Does he think the organisation is prepared and has an important role in relation to that? How will it ready itself for that? Will it require, for example, different skill sets, mindsets and changes in approach to align an important organisation such as TII? In his opening statement, Mr. Llewellyn mentioned that it is about delivering. I am conscious that TII has taken on a new role in the delivery of greenways, which I think aligns very well with the piece on active travel. How is the organisation going to deliver roads that serve a purpose that is more closely aligned to the climate obligations and the changes in road user, the changes in road space and the types of vehicles that are on roads? I hope that is a clear question and Mr. Llewellyn has a sense of what I am asking.
