I seem to remember a lot of time being spent by certain members of the last Labour UK Government on a tidal barrage, and certainly there were people talking about tidal lagoons back at that time. But, nonetheless, we are where we are; we have to move forward. Our debate today is simply noting that the Welsh Government’s national strategy, ‘Prosperity for All’, is with us. I notice that the Welsh Government are supporting that. That’s progress. However, we do expect to see more specific measurable targets. It’s not a case any more of simply having warm words. If the next 20 years of devolution are going to be more successful in delivering on the economy, delivering on the health service, delivering on education, delivering across the range on public services for the people of Wales, then we have to do, all of us, a lot, lot better than we have done over the last 20 years. I urge people to support this motion and make a start.
