I don't mind the Member talking about Wales being the wettest country in Britain in this Chamber, but please don't tell any of the tourists who are thinking of coming here.

I'll ask the Cabinet Secretary for environment to write with details concerning the uptake of projects in relation to micro-hydro plants.FootnoteLink The national grid is a responsibility of UK Government, and both I and my colleague the Cabinet Secretary have met very recently with the National Grid, and I can confirm that your assertion is absolutely right: the grid needs to be strengthened, and that requires additional infrastructure spend by UK Government. There are huge opportunities that National Grid can offer and are looking at, in particular a scheme on Deeside industrial estate that could see a particular plant that they have there become a centre of excellence in research and development. But underlying all of this is the need to strengthen the grid as a whole. Actually, one of the problems that we're facing with the roll-out of superfast charging points for electric vehicles is the lack of strength within the existing grid, and to bring the grid up to a sufficient standard requires a huge amount of capital spend. So, again, it's absolutely vital that UK Government looks favourably on the proposals that are being put to it by National Grid for what I believe would be 50 superfast charging points across the UK in strategic points, and that we get delivering those points as soon as possible.
