Again, I thank the Cabinet Secretary for his reply, but, given such startling figures as places such as Camden in London being 23 times more productive per head of population than north Wales, there appears to be a huge gap to fill. Economists say that they're not surprised at Wales's lack of productivity, identifying low levels of business investment, poor transport infrastructure and our lack of investment in skills, and low levels of innovation—all critical factors affecting productivity. Are you confident, Cabinet Secretary, that Welsh Government's economic strategy is robust enough to achieve a dynamic private-enterprise-driven economic expansion, or possibly, I should say, 'explosion' that Wales so desperately needs?
