I believe that the facility the Member refers to is the proposed Cardiff arena. This is not a proposal from Welsh Government. I think there’s been some mischief made by one of the opposition Members—not in the Member’s party—regarding the proposal and who it comes from. It’s actually a proposal Cardiff council is looking at at the moment, and they’re examining the potential of a number of options. It is my belief that, as we seek to host more events, as we seek to attract more business events to Wales, we do require twenty-first century facilities. And I do not believe it’s in the interest of our nation to have politicians turn the regions against each other, when talking about what facilities we need.

In my view, we need a major arena in the south, and Cardiff is perfectly situated, as the capital city, for an arena. But equally, I understand the need for upgrades to facilities across Wales, and for that reason, my officials met with Wrexham Association Football Club officials, just last week, to discuss the Racecourse ground. They’ve met with a number of sports and cultural organisations across the length and breadth of Wales to ensure that we do have facilities fit for the twenty-first century.
