Well, Cabinet Secretary, you may have talked to two Assembly Members, but I don’t think you’ve talked to all Assembly Members who represent the area and I think, with respect to democracy here in Wales, it would be good if you could include all Assembly Members who represent the Bridgend region as part of any future discussions.

Look, you may say that Ford have investment in the area and you may have warm words to say about Ford, but I have the scars from the debates around Ford closing their plant in Swansea and the ensuing Visteon pensions campaign with Ford. So, it may be nice for you to trust them, but their words may not be reflected in the actions that they take post 2021. So, I want to be assured by you, because I didn’t hear you answer Adam Price: when did you find out about these reports in the press today? Yes, they may be leaked reports, but we need to understand what discussions you had with the company to know what the level of severity was up to this point because, of course, those living in the area will be very concerned. Also, this is an anchor company, so I want to try and understand what the other companies working around Ford are feeling today—not only Ford workers, but those smaller companies. You say quite a lot about looking for new products, but what are some of those new products? Are you concerned that, with regard to Tata buying Jaguar Land Rover in 2008, lots of investment has gone to the west midlands plant, and that may be to the detriment of the production in Ford in Bridgend? So, have you looked to analyse the effect of those investments in another part of the UK and how that impacts on us?

We talked about Tata only a few weeks ago. It would be good if we could have that industrial strategy from you as a Government so that we can put all of these tools together in one particular document and we can understand how we as Assembly Members across the Chamber can input into this in a positive way, because we have no interest in trying to make capital out of this. We have to secure those jobs in south Wales, because if Ford do not feel the pressure then, believe me, they may move those jobs elsewhere. Because they’re a multinational corporation and they are not committed to Wales as, potentially, some other Members in this Chamber may think.
