Part of 1. Questions to the Cabinet Secretary for Economy and Transport – in the Senedd at 2:09 pm on 2 May 2018.
Cabinet Secretary, as part of that deal, obviously Neath Port Talbot has responsibility for a couple of those projects, one of which is the steel innovation centre. Now, I understand that there are issues regarding where that will be located and there are concerns that Welsh Government is pushing them towards Felindre, which is actually further away from the university campus and Tata, which are both important partners in that innovation centre. Now, the current steel and metals institute is based in the university campus in Singleton. They want to move it nearer. There's land available, which I understand is Welsh Government land, and there's trouble having that land released. Will you look at this aspect to ensure that, if that land is available, you can release it to the organisations to ensure that the steel research centre is based close to the university and close to Tata, where it actually will benefit?
