When Labour were in Government, I think it's fair to say that investment in rail was substantial, but there is always room for a further investment, and that's why Welsh Government is investing in the metro in south Wales—more than £700 million—and that's why we are investing in the north Wales metro with initial seed funding of £50 million. I would urge the Member to support, not denigrate, the work that is being done to ensure that the north Wales metro is a huge success.

As I say, in mid Wales—[Interruption.]—Powys and Ceredigion are developing Growing Mid Wales, which draws together local and national Government to create a vision for the future growth of mid Wales. We've welcomed details from the Growing Mid Wales partnership on how a deal could support this vision. Again, Welsh Government remains committed to fuelling economic growth in mid Wales, and I'm pleased that we've been supporting the rapid growth of businesses in Welshpool, including Zip-Clip and Charlies, and the infrastructure of Newtown, with spend on the much-needed bypass. I do believe that a deal could build on this significant investment.

But to meet the challenges of today and the opportunities of tomorrow, our economic action plan sets out how we, as a Government, will continue to grow the economy and spread opportunity, and in doing so, provide a stronger voice for our regions. We remain committed to delivering successful deals across Wales as part of that vision in the plan—a plan for driving inclusive growth.

City and growth deals have the potential to make a lasting impact on our regions, providing that they respect the devolution settlement. And in that context, I do welcome the strong cross-party support again shown in this debate today.
