I’m very pleased to say to the Member that I’ve already done it. In fact, I announced last week that an advanced manufacturing institute based on the Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre in Sheffield, which will be delivered with the University of Sheffield and universities in Wales, is being built. I approved the funding for the first phase of the institute just last week.

It’s also my vision that, as part of the technology park that we’ll be developing in Ebbw Vale, we will see an advanced manufacturing centre of excellence configured there as well. The model of the AMRC is already proven. Institutions and businesses have access to £0.5 billion-worth of research equipment. That’s why the model is so attractive. The advanced manufacturing and research institute in north Wales will build on that model, and I was also able to reveal that, according to the business case, the AMRI in north Wales will have an economic impact of up to £4 billion on GVA in the next 20 years. I want to make sure that we replicate that sort of model of success in the south Wales Valleys.
