The development of investment in the northern Valleys is a point that's been well made by the Member for Caerphilly over his time here, and it's something I clearly share for reasons that are clear. We have discussed the Rhymney valley with the Member for Merthyr Tydfil and Rhymney as well. It is important that we're able to reach out beyond the southern parts of the Valleys of south Wales, and that's why we are putting in place a development plan that specifically looks at maximising the impact of the A465 dualling project, and we need to be able to deliver that over the coming six months or so.

In terms of Welsh ICE, I've clearly met with Welsh ICE, and we do have a representative on the taskforce who's taking forward the plans on entrepreneurship. What we hope to be able to do is use the model of Welsh ICE to be able to extend that to parts of the region in the south-east of Wales where we haven't got a similar sort of facility, and what I hope we'll be able to do is use individuals who are entrepreneurs in their own right to mentor and work with businesses in order to deliver the sort of help and support that is tailored for each individual business. So, it's very much a granular approach to ensuring that people who are establishing and running small businesses have exactly the support that they need—not the support that we believe that they need—and that's absolutely essential.

What I hope we'll be able to do is use the model of Welsh ICE in Caerphilly to be able to develop exactly that approach in other parts of the south-east of Wales.
