The Cabinet Secretary is away on urgent business in London, protecting jobs and services in Wales. He could not possibly have anticipated the need to be here to answer an urgent question on what was an end-of-term speech in Cardiff Airport.

However, I’m quite happy to read, once again, the series of projects that he reviewed during his speech. The investment includes major improvements to the M4, A55, A40, A494, the delivery of a south Wales metro, the development of a north Wales metro, a new rail franchise, a ports development fund, the development of a third Menai crossing, improved and more sustainable bus services, and will be the largest Wales has seen in a generation. That was the import of his speech. I am currently arranging for the speech to be put on the website; it only requires translation to be put there.
