Thanks very much. I’m listening with great interest to your contribution. I was at the briefing this morning for the pre-launch of the Development Bank of Wales, and I was delighted, I have to say, as a south Wales Assembly Member, that they’ve chosen to headquarter in north Wales and to more proportionately represent their staffing around mid Wales and north Wales, as well as having the headquarters in north Wales. That is a good way forward, he’d have to agree, and probably we need to do more of it, but it’s not to criticise other regions in trying to get investment into their area too.
