Cabinet Secretary, the brave decision by the Tata workforce to accept the Tata deal will help secure the future of steel making in Wales. It is now up to both Governments, in Westminster and in Wales, to help ensure that demand for Welsh steel is increased.

As discussed in the tidal lagoons debate here yesterday, Tidal Lagoon Power hope to source most of the steel from UK sources. However, there are concerns about this, given the fact that their major partners are a steel producer in France and Holland. What discussions have you had with the UK Government about ensuring that the tidal lagoon in Swansea uses only Welsh steel?
