Thank you very much for the reply, First Minister. The announcement by Newsquest that they propose to close their subediting hub in Newport and relocate to Weymouth has been raised in this Chamber before. However, it has been revealed that Newsquest received £95,000 from the Welsh Government in 2012-13 under the Skills Growth Wales programme, and a further £245,000 to expand its subediting hub last year.

Will the First Minister advise us what conditions applied to these grants and what action will the Welsh Government take to safeguard its investment in supporting employment in Newport?
