Thank you, Deputy Presiding Officer. Cabinet Secretary, I welcome the creation of the steering group you mentioned. Can you outline in a bit more detail how you’re looking to strengthen cross-border working with the Department for Transport, Transport for the North, and others to ensure that you are taking advantage of the UK Government’s investment in HS2 and high speed 3?
Finally, while it’s right and proper that infrastructure in north Wales forges links with the north of England, it’s also important, of course, that infrastructure facilitates greater connectivity with mid Wales. You wouldn’t expect me to say anything different. I’d be interested to hear what your plans are to improve links between north and mid Wales, particularly in regard to how businesses can access and take advantage of developments in the north.
