Much of the Welsh Government's focus on economic development in South Wales West is based on creating two strategic hubs in Neath and north Bridgend as part of the Valleys taskforce, as I'm sure you're well aware, and a key element of that is the release of employment land for industrial use. Now, given that that is also the case for most of the strategic hubs across the rest of the south Wales Valleys, do you agree that there's a risk that, unless specific sectors and companies are targeted in a systemic way, your Government risks flooding the market with the release of land that you simply will not be able to fill?
