Thank you, Llywydd. I thank the Cabinet Secretary for his statement. In addition to being a huge blow to local people in Merthyr Tydfil and the surrounding area, of course, as has just been mentioned, this is going to be a blow to the food chain in general in Wales. We heard in the Climate Change, Environment and Rural Affairs Committee this morning from your colleague, Lesley Griffiths, about the growth in the food industry in Wales over the past two or three years. It’s one of those industries that are prospering. In losing these jobs, we are not only losing the ability to process meat once it’s been slaughtered in the abattoir, but we’re losing skills, we’re losing investment and we’ll be losing the opportunity to build other businesses around the processing that happens on that site. So, it’s extremely important, I think, that the Government leaves no stone unturned in overturning the company’s decision as it currently stands, because retaining these jobs in Wales is not only important to Merthyr, but it’s important to the food chain in general in Wales.

One final very specific question to the Cabinet Secretary: can he confirm today that no other public money is being used in Cornwall to attract these jobs from Wales? I want to ensure that Cornwall, which is a European assistance area—as is Merthyr, of course—isn’t using European funds to attract jobs from one region that receives financial support to another region.
