In terms of the expansion of Heathrow Airport, it could bring more than £6 billion to the Welsh economy and help create more than 8,000 jobs, so it’s a major piece of infrastructure that will benefit our country. I do recognise that Scotland have an MOU in place with Heathrow Airport. My officials are discussing a memorandum of understanding with Heathrow, but it will be different to that which Scotland has been able to agree. Many of the points within the MOU that Scotland has are actually within the gift of the Scottish Government and can be delivered regardless of whether a memorandum of understanding exists at all. For example, on the marketing strategy that is talked about in the memorandum of understanding, we’ve already done that as a Welsh Government.

As a consequence of us doing that—. I’m sure that the Member, representing an area of Wales that is very rural and that relies on the visitor economy, would welcome the fact that we’ve got more tourists coming to Wales than ever before, and that north Wales was, last week, declared the fourth best place on the planet to visit. [Interruption.] Absolutely. That is because we have been investing for many, many years in the right areas and in the right products to drive up tourism. We didn’t need an MOU to designate north Wales as the fourth greatest place on the planet.

In terms of the agreements that we are looking for, we wish to ensure that there is a proportionate memorandum of understanding for Wales. But, we are also negotiating very much with the UK Government, because many of the benefits that will stem from Heathrow Airport expanding to three runways actually stem from Westminster. So, we’re looking for assurance that the western rail link to Heathrow will be delivered; we’re looking for assurance that the north Wales main line will be upgraded appropriately, and that there will be proper connectivity into HS2; we are looking for the abolition of the Severn tolls; and, of course, we are also looking for air passenger duty to be devolved. All of these essential issues are within the gift not of Heathrow Airport, but the UK Government.

So, just having a memorandum of understanding with the airport, in my view, is insufficient. We also need agreement from the UK Government. Insofar as work is concerned with the UK Government, of course, we’ve heard from the Secretary of State for Wales, and I very much welcome his words, that Heathrow’s third runway will bring many great benefits to Wales. I also hope that the Secretary of State will continue working with me to deliver some of the infrastructure improvements that we need to see brought to Wales as a result of the need to make Wales a more connected and united country. So, I’m confident that, in terms of the benefits that Heathrow can bring, we will have an understanding, the memorandum of understanding, with Heathrow that is at least proportionate to that which Scotland has, but in addition to agreements that we are seeking through UK Government.
