Cabinet Secretary, without knowing the authenticity or even the validity of this so-called leaked document, we have to be extremely careful about whipping up hysteria about job losses at Ford’s engine plant at Bridgend. The only official indications we have had from Ford is that they’re scaling back investment, but they are still making a multimillion pound investment at Bridgend. It’s too early to be talking about strike action. If Ford did announce that this is their intention, to cut back in Bridgend, it’s my region, and then I would fight alongside everyone else and stand shoulder to shoulder with my constituents and the unions in opposing job losses. But, until then, I think we must try and calm the situation. Cabinet Secretary, do you agree with me that it is too early to be even considering strike action and will you assure my constituents that you will do everything you can to ensure that Ford continue to invest in the Bridgend plant?

Finally, Cabinet Secretary, can you update us on the discussions you’ve had with the UK Government about joint action you can take together to secure the long-term future of the engine plant in Bridgend?
