I move the motion in my name.

Over the next 10 to 15 years, £2.5 billion will be heading to the Cardiff city region and the Swansea city region as part of the city deals, signed of course by the UK Government, the Welsh Government, local authorities and other partners as well. In north Wales, the Economic Ambition Board has submitted its bid for a similar agreement serving its area.

In our committee's report, we recommended that mid Wales should also have a deal,

'to complete the jigsaw in Wales', as we put it in our report. I was pleased to hear the Chancellor in the UK Government's budget say that he would consider proposals for a mid Wales growth deal. The Welsh Government has also been supportive, not least in its response to our report, but, of course, warm words won't improve the economy of mid Wales, and I'm conscious that, without greater input from both Governments, there is a danger that the heart of mid Wales will be forgotten. So, I am pleased that there is consensus that there should be a deal for mid Wales, and now we need, of course, to put flesh on the bones and build consensus amongst businesses, the public sector and the people of mid Wales to ensure that their deal meets their needs and do that sooner rather than later.
