Diolch. First Minister, following the Tory UK Government's hollowed budget at the end of last year, the Welsh Government's budget will be once again lower, in real terms, in 2019-20 than it was in 2010-11. The Welsh Labour Government has repeatedly asserted that, for the Welsh economy to grow, which will consequently improve the financial security for the Welsh people, it is critically important that the UK Government commit to important infrastructure projects in Wales. First Minister, what representations and actions have the Welsh Government made to ensure projects like the Swansea bay tidal lagoon, electrification of the London Paddington to Swansea railway line, and the much-needed further investment in our railway infrastructure, become a reality?
