We've had the political rant from the Cabinet Secretary, but let's get back to reality—[Interruption.] Let's get back to reality. And I do congratulate him on his appointment to the Cabinet.
It was only some two months ago that Aston Martin announced a £500 million deal on a trade mission to Japan. That will add a significant boost to the footprint of the factory in the Vale of Glamorgan, which I look down on every day from where we live in the village of St Hilary. I welcome that announcement and I welcome all who have been involved in it, working from the Welsh Government point of view and the UK Government point of view. It shows, when Governments work together, what can be achieved. What assessment has the Cabinet Secretary, or the Government, I should say, made of that £500 million trade deal that Aston Martin announced on 31 August this year, when they accompanied the Prime Minister to Japan, about the massive benefits that will have on the footprint that they are building in St Athan?
