Yes, and can I thank the Member for his question, and also for support for this scheme right across the Chamber? The energy environment sector in Wales is enormously important to our future. It employs at the moment somewhere in the region of 58,000 people and provides opportunities for more than 2,000 companies, with a turnover of more than £2.3 billion. I’m very keen to ensure that, as we develop a new economic strategy for Wales, one based on a central pillar of prosperity and security, we make sure that energy security is at the very core of that strategy.
