The people of Anglesey would like an assurance that the north Wales growth deal will seek to develop the economy across all counties of north Wales, not tying the eastern counties to what’s happening in England only. There are opportunities to the west also, in Ireland, never mind the rest of Wales, and not just in the north west of England.

There is a risk that Wylfa Newydd will be seen to be ticking the box in terms of Anglesey or in terms of the north-west more widely, even. Will the Cabinet Secretary agree that we shouldn’t rely on Wylfa, because if a situation arises where that isn’t delivered, we will be in deep trouble?
