We know that significant sums will be invested in light of this growth bid in north Wales, but the local authorities have come together to create a joint committee, which will oversee that process. But may I ask how you, as a Government, will ensure that these investments do reflect your strategic priorities in north Wales and aren’t led to run in parallel so that everything works together as one effort for economic regeneration in north Wales? Because I’m not really sure where the Government voice is heard within the context of this new joint committee, or other sectors, such as the business sector, higher education and further education in the region, which were prominent parts of the economic ambitions board, but will now have a non-voting role in these new structures.
