I won’t take a second one, no.

I actually welcome the amendment by the Welsh Conservatives, which encourages UK and Welsh Governments to actually work together to devise a strategy to maximise the long-term viability and potential of steel production in Wales. This is something I’ve been calling for for a long time. I actually marched alongside Port Talbot steelworkers in May as they lobbied the UK Government to bring forward an industrial strategy to strengthen our steel sector. I feel that the Welsh Government should have a part to play in those discussions as the majority of steel making now lies in Wales.

With regard to Plaid Cymru’s amendment 5, I agree with the sentiment behind it totally, highlighting the need to support the development of the power plant and the establishment of a research hub based in Swansea University, centred on Swansea University. The amendment, though, asks the Welsh Government to act when I don’t think it has the authority to do so, but we must stress the fantastic work that Swansea University has been undertaking in conjunction with Tata and emphasise that it should lead any research and development hub within the UK. I have visited the innovation campus at the university and specific projects also in Baglan bay on numerous occasions along with the First Minister and the Minister for Skills and Science. These are world-leading research facilities and should be supported in the years ahead. I agree with any call for Welsh Government to engage in support for these areas.

Finally, we must now ensure that any potential buyers of Tata Steel UK business are offered the support they were offered before the referendum result. We must also ensure that Tata continues to be a responsible employer and seller. Only a fortnight ago, I was assured that there would be when I met with Mr Jha, the chief executive officer of Tata Steel UK. Let’s hope that continues and that will continue to happen.

But, through all this huge uncertainty, the workers at Port Talbot have continued to demonstrate their commitment to steel making and have broken production records, despite having that cloud of uncertainty hovering over them. We must ensure that Welsh Government continues to pressure the UK Government to bring forward the tax breaks promised and the pension consultation, which closed on the twenty-third—strangely enough, the same day the UK voted on Brexit, but that’s when the pension consultation closed—and that it’s looked at very carefully, scrutinised properly, and we come to some conclusion. Because the last thing we want is the pensions going into the pension protection fund because that would be devastating for pensioners and the workers in the works now.

I continue to believe that steel making in Port Talbot has a future. We must all unite to ensure that we protect this foundation industry. I, for one, will continue to work with the trade union colleagues, management, workforce and all people in Port Talbot to secure that future.
