I’m looking forward to it already. [Laughter.] Well, the reason I’ve been visiting all of those places is because I want to make sure that we are embracing the technology as it comes upon us.

As I was about to say, understanding intelligent transport systems, the integration of information and communication technology with transport infrastructure, vehicles and users is one of these important challenges. So, as we adopt these new technologies—low emission, connected autonomous vehicles and so on—we need to make sure both our companies in Wales and our infrastructure are in a position to take advantage of it. We’ve got a whole series of manufacturers already interested in coming to Wales or who are already in Wales and are interested in adapting their practice to embrace this, and that’s part of the reason why we’re going to invest £100 million to invest in the automotive park in Blaenau Gwent. That will—I won’t rehearse the metrics for that, because you’re all aware of them.

I recently attended a dinner after Digital 2017 with a series of automotive and digital entrepreneurs with a view to getting them together to talk about their ideas. That was a very instructive dinner, because it really does make you understand some of the integration pieces for this. So, we have to integrate our role in battery development and manufacturing, and electric charging points and their distribution across Wales—fast electric charging points; I completely take that point. We have to have low-volume, special purpose electric vehicle manufacturing, composite manufacturing, we need to have highly competitive, independent companies in Wales, but we have to have a good public infrastructure for them to be able to use it, both for the test beds of the next couple of years, and then for the cars of the future, as that rolls out.

I think it’s worth having a look for a minute at just a few of the things that we will need to discuss along this way. Members will know that we recently published a mobile action plan, which talks about readiness, amongst other things, for testing of fifth generation and other innovative solutions in Wales. I’d like Members to just apply their minds a little bit to how an autonomous vehicle might travel along a road. That road will be wired. It will have a fibre broadband tetrabyte pipe running along it, and it will have nodes every so often to talk to the vehicles above it. But the car won’t stick a spike into the road. It will have to have some kind of spectrum—Wi-Fi or radio spectrum—to talk to that road, and to the car in front of it. If the Government sells the 5G radio spectrum, which is a finite resource—bear in mind it’s not an infinite thing—in the way that it sold other spectrum, then what we will have, effectively, is equivalent to land banking. So, Members will be very aware that fourth generation is not available right across Wales, but 4G has been sold, and the companies that own it are simply not utilising it in areas that are not commercially viable. We call on the UK Government to seriously think about the way that it approaches the next spectrum sales, not as cash cows, but as ways of making sure that this infrastructure can be used productively to make this technology happen properly. So, for example, I personally would not want to be driving along in an autonomous vehicle in the middle of Powys only to find that my mobile connection cuts off because a private sector company has done a nefarious deal someplace else in the world and gone bankrupt. I’d quite like that to be public infrastructure, which I need to be reliable and resilient. So, I think these things really do need to be thought through as we move forward into the future. So, I thought it was worth pointing that out.

At the same time, we need to be embracing, for example, battery and technology change, so that the range gets bigger and better, and we address some of the issues that Gareth Bennett raised around the production of rare materials and so on. Recently, I had the real pleasure to attend a catalysis cutting-edge research centre at Cardiff University to look at some of the experimentation that’s going on there in developing different fuel cells and using different catalysts to produce different types of fuel technology. I confess that, although I understood what I was being told at the time, I’m not too sure I could reproduce it now in all of its chemical technicolour glory. But it was very impressive indeed, and of course the Government has put an enormous amount of resource into knowledge transfer partnerships and the commercialisation of such resource with appropriate private and public sector companies around that research, to make sure that the commercialisation for that kind of thing happens here in Wales. I’m going to run out of time—otherwise I’d read you a whole long list of companies that are very much part of that.

As Vikki Howells pointed out, we have provided £2 million in the budget to help secure a network of charging points, and in addition, we are putting 10 fast-charging points in Welsh Government offices, to serve employees and visitors as a network, as we roll it out. We’re liaising with the UK Office of Low Emission Vehicles, administering the UK funding on the potential for running roadshow-type events in Wales for the public and private sectors, and my innovation team has run several events in partnership with Innovate UK and the Knowledge Transfer Network on opportunities for funding integrated transport systems as part of our infrastructure, connected autonomous systems and accelerating innovation in rail systems.

Deputy Presiding Officer, I have another 12 or so pages about all of the things we could do in rail and electric—
