Part of 1. 1. Questions to the Cabinet Secretary for Economy and Infrastructure – in the Senedd at 1:57 pm on 9 November 2016.
For the same reason that I’ve already given, I couldn’t give any guarantees about whether I’d be able to fund the full £160,000. I’m sure the Member is sympathetic to the reason why. I can’t do that because the application has not been thoroughly scrutinised yet. But in terms of stations, well, the metro project does have flexibility built into it so that there can be extensions and there can be amendments to the service provision if, for example, new social infrastructure is incorporated into the South East Wales regional area and then the metro map can be amended accordingly. So, I’m sympathetic to the cause. I will look thoroughly at the application, but I’m not in a position to give the go-ahead today.
