Part of the debate – in the Senedd at 4:55 pm on 27 September 2017.
Two figures I put to you—and I identified that you said you’ve got the skills, or ‘We’ve got the skills here in Wales’—one was on GVA, and nationally, we only contribute 3 per cent of the wealth of the UK but we have 5 per cent of the population. On take-home pay, Scotland and Wales had parity 20 years ago; there’s now a £43 difference per week. So, where will Wales be in 2021 on national GVA in relation to the UK and where will it be on take-home pay if, as you’re identifying, we’ve got the skills the industry needs?
