I thank the Cabinet Secretary for his response and to Angela for bringing this case to our attention. It was disappointing to see this week that the creative industries sector panel had said that the development of Yr Egin would undermine a similar media hub in Swansea. But it’s come to my attention that, for example, the director of Telesgop, which is the largest media company operating through the medium of Welsh from Swansea, is not aware of any hub that exists in Swansea. At a time of uncertainty, particularly in our rural areas, following the Brexit vote, and when this project would give some glimmer of hope to these areas, can the Cabinet Secretary tell us whether any assessment has been made of the impact of not developing Yr Egin in Carmarthen?
