I don’t think there’s a word that I would disagree with, Adam Price, and I think the Cabinet Secretary would be only too delighted to meet with the London-based investors. I think that it’s important that you mentioned indigenous businesses. We are continuing to support indigenous business. We’ve got a record number of active enterprises headquartered in Wales. The latest figures show that Wales has the highest number of new businesses in over a decade. To date, £13 million has been invested in 1,703 start-ups in Wales through the Start Up Loans company. So, this is very encouraging—that there are more who want to invest in Wales.
