Part of 2. Questions to the Leader of the House and Chief Whip (in respect of her portfolio responsibilities) – in the Senedd at 3:06 pm on 6 December 2017.
Absolutely, and I wouldn't disagree there. Others have congratulated you on your appointment to Cabinet today. We've already been working together in my role as business manager and you as leader of the house. I congratulate you on bringing digital connectivity from the ministerial benches to the frontbench. I have a kind offer to make to you to mark your new role in the Cabinet, and that is to use the Isle of Anglesey as a test bed for the development of 5G technology. People who know far more than me about digital connectivity tell me that, actually, in terms of geography, in terms of military presence—[Interruption.]—well, the fact that it's relatively flat, plus with the mountains nearby, actually, Anglesey would be a very good place to develop 5G technology. There's some good work going on at Bangor University as well in this field. I would be more than happy to facilitate in any way I can to make presentations to Government on how this could happen, but I would welcome, at this stage at least, a nod from Government that they are keen to look at test-bed areas in Wales that could include, and should, indeed, include, the Isle of Anglesey.
