I can give an absolute assurance that that’s true of Shotton, of Trostre and, indeed, of the works in Newport as well. I know that there’s been some fear amongst the workers that, whenever steel is talked about, it’s always Port Talbot. It is the biggest employer, of course, but we know that all of our steel plants in Wales are hugely important and we know that they’re interdependent. The Member will know that I visited Shotton very soon after the announcement; I did the same with all the plants across Wales and will continue to make sure that the steel industry in Wales is seen as one whole industry that must be bought as a whole, and developed and invested in in the future.
