Speaker 1
Welcome back since the summer recess.
16:43 - 17:30
Speaker 2
But as everyone knows, we've been talking about new towns and we're bringing that work to a conclusion. And there's no better way of doing that than having our special guests. Our special guest before us, I'm delighted to welcome the Minister to talk to us, the man who's going to drive this through. He's a bit like Gandalf, if I may say. He's back, but he's even more powerful because now he also attends Cabinet, so he's able to bash those heads together as we've been asking.
I'm delighted the Prime Minister's acted on one of our recommendations in a previous report. But in all seriousness, Minister, we are delighted to have you here and congratulations on being reappointed. Power to your elbow, as they say. And we're also delighted to welcome back Lise-Anne from the department. Thank you, I know how busy you are.
So with that in mind, I was going to suggest we just go straight into it.
