Well, I’m not aware of the situation in Caerphilly as he describes it. I will write to him on that, because it’s specific to Caerphilly council rather than to Welsh Government. We need to avoid a situation where we build speculatively lots and lots of different factory units because we know that a lot of them remain empty, or they did remain empty in the 1990s. What we look to do is to identify existing buildings that are appropriate for businesses who want them, and to look at where units can be built where we know there will be a demand. And that is something certainly that forms part of our economic strategy.
