We have been working with Swansea University in terms of R&D. We’ve been working with Tata to move R&D into south Wales. We want to be manufacturers, but we want to make sure that as much R&D as possible takes place in Wales as well. There are great opportunities there for Tata. We believe there are great opportunities with the lagoon—the lagoon is widely supported in this Chamber; I don’t make that point in any political sense. I do hope that whatever happens after 8 June we will have a decision that is positive about the lagoon to create 1,000 jobs in the area, which will be a huge catalyst in terms of job creation within the enterprise zone.
