The Swansea bay city region deal, which you and Theresa May, of course, both signed recently in Swansea, is set to trigger £1.3 billion worth of investment in the region, and the proximity of the university that you’ve mentioned already, and the emphasis on the steel-based supply chain within the enterprise zone, fits very well with a number of projects in that deal. The enterprise zone board also hopes to create opportunities and promote innovation and entrepreneurship in advanced manufacturing and materials. So, what kind of help can we expect from Welsh Government to help the local steel sector take advantage of research and development and commercialisation in those other two sectors in order to improve the local economy?
