Part of the debate – in the Senedd at 2:46 pm on 17 January 2017.
Diolch yn fawr, Simon Thomas. Those are two very important questions. Of course, we very much welcome, and the Welsh Government welcomed, the fact that the Charles Hendry review last week supported the case for developing a tidal lagoon energy industry in the UK. And, of course, this has been very much supported by our new programme for government, ‘Taking Wales Forward’, and also acknowledged in statements by Government Ministers. So, I think this development of a sustainable tidal lagoon industry in Wales is clearly a subject that would be appropriate for a debate, and we'll look to that in terms of timing and arrangements.
Your second point, on pollution in the River Teifi, I very much recognise that this is about tackling agricultural pollution in terms of origins. It’s essential to improve overall water quality in Wales, and, of course, mention has been made, I think, already today about the consultation on nitrate vulnerable zones in Wales, which has closed. But the Cabinet Secretary would be prepared to do a specific written statement on this incident, but, obviously, she is also looking at the results of this consultation.
