Thank you very much, Deputy Presiding Officer. I can’t recall when was the last time we had a debate in the Assembly led by two papers, one published by one opposition party and the other published by another opposition party. This debate emerges from a paper that I published around a year ago on the proposal to establish an energy company for Wales. As I said in the previous debate, if you have an idea that is a good one and has yet to be implemented, then there’s no disgrace in recycling that idea. Therefore, I'm not going to apologise for bringing this debate back to the Assembly, although we have discussed the idea in the past.

I bring it back in the context where there may be a major decision to be made on the future of energy in Wales, with not only the possible investment in Wylfa, Wylfa B, but also the proposed possible decision of not investing in the Swansea bay tidal lagoon. I will come to that in a few moments, because it’s very relevant to the concept put forward by Plaid Cymru in its paper and in today’s debate.
