Part of 1. Questions to the Cabinet Secretary for Economy and Transport – in the Senedd at 2:21 pm on 24 October 2018.
I thank the Cabinet Secretary for that response and I welcome the investment that the city deal will bring, both in terms of jobs and transport. But I'm very concerned about how the deal as a whole has the input of women, and that the services and the projects that are developed take into account what women need. Because, of the council leaders, the 10 council leaders who make up the cabinet for the deal, only one is a woman, Debbie Wilcox from Newport. So, I wondered what steps the Cabinet Secretary could take to ensure that the city deal has a positive impact on women in the community in those areas that are covered by the deal.
