Part of 1. 1. Questions to the First Minister – in the Senedd at 2:06 pm on 1 November 2016.
It’s unfortunate what happened to Tidal Lagoon Power Ltd. I think it’s fair to say that what they were taking forward was more like a research and development project rather than a business project per se. It does have potential, there’s no question about that, and we’re keen those skills are not lost. I have to say it would be hugely useful, of course, if we were to see progress now on the Swansea Bay tidal lagoon so that the work that’s been carried out in St Justinian, for example—I saw for myself what was happening there—can actually be taken forward as part of the skill set that will be needed for the tidal lagoon.
