Part of 2. 1. Questions to the Cabinet Secretary for Economy and Infrastructure – in the Senedd at 2:20 pm on 25 January 2017.
Cabinet Secretary, I was pleased earlier that Adam Price quoted this week’s ‘Llanelli Star’, which reported faithfully what I said in the Senedd last week. Since then, Nia Griffith—the MP for Llanelli—and I have communicated further with steelworkers in our constituency, and we have very real concerns that the deal, which is only possible because of the Welsh Government’s intervention, faces being voted down. Would he echo my concerns to the Tata chair that unless further changes are made, this deal may be lost, and the impact to the productivity and the wealth of the Welsh economy will be significant? Would he also agree that calling for a better deal, and calling for the deal to be rejected, is the world of difference, because that would be irresponsible?
