Thank you, Cabinet Secretary. Last week, the First Minister offered £200 million to enhance the prospects of the Swansea tidal bay lagoon. As usual, the whole focus has been on south Wales when the north Wales coast is ripe for consideration for this type of project. I'm sure that even a small percentage of that £200 million would really help to kick-start the concept being worked up by North Wales Tidal Energy. What support does your Government intend to give to get this project off the ground? North Wales stands to be the pathfinder project. It is now time to look north.
