As I say, it’s about making sure that there is relevance to what we do in all parts of Wales. As I’ve spoken on numerous occasions now about the area that I personally represent in Wales, I think sometimes the north-east feels distant from this institution and somewhat removed from the process of devolution. I would agree as well about regional economies and the importance that urban areas have in giving them identity and attracting investment and generating economic wealth as well. It’s important that, within any regional economy, there are centres, towns, that can be identified as capitals of those regions. Insofar as Wales is concerned, we are reaching that point with Cardiff, with Swansea and with Newport. I think it’s central that we identify local authorities and towns elsewhere in Wales that are willing and determined to take on the challenge of becoming regional capitals. I think that’s absolutely central.

I’ve spoken on numerous occasions as well about the fact that, I hope, through the new economic strategy, we can look at using more place-based interventions. In the work that I’m carrying out, under the chairmanship of Alun Davies on the Valleys taskforce, we’ve been open-minded about the interventions that are required within the Valleys. As I said earlier to a previous question, I think we can’t afford to look at an all-Wales strategy, without also looking at some of the nuances of the regions. Therefore, we need to ensure that we don’t approach every region with a one-model-fits-all approach. That’s why I think it’s important that, within the context of the work that’s taking place at the moment on the economic strategy, we also look at the regional economies and what it is that each of the regions require, because it may well be that what’s required in North Wales is different to what’s required in Mid and West Wales and within the city regions of south Wales.
