Part of 1. Questions to the First Minister – in the Senedd at 2:07 pm on 6 November 2018.
Further to that, First Minister, I have to say that I was disappointed to hear recent statements by the leader of Swansea council, as he mentioned that he thought the best way of delivering the lagoon in Swansea was to leave it to the private sector entirely. In his view, the private sector should do the design work, find the investors, build the project and maintain the tidal lagoon, but there is no certainty, of course, that this will happen. If the Welsh Government is truly committed to introducing a tidal lagoon in Swansea bay and then developing the renewable industry in Wales, why don’t you lead the way on this agenda and create a national energy company for the people of Wales?
