7. What assessment has the First Minister made of the future opportunities for organisations relocating to Wales from the south-east of England? OAQ(5)0568(FM)

A large proportion of recent investments from companies headquartered elsewhere in the UK have, indeed, come from London and the south-east of England.

I thank the First Minister for that response. Does the First Minister support the call from the leader of Cardiff council to the UK Government for Channel 4 to be relocated to Cardiff, in view of the success of the media industry in Cardiff and as part of the consultation that is now going on about the future of Channel 4?

Yes, I do, very much. I think Cardiff has a great deal to offer in terms of media services. We’ve seen huge growth in the creative industries, not just in Cardiff but outside. We’ve seen huge growth in the media in Cardiff, and Cardiff would be an ideal headquarters for Channel 4.
