Thank you. I will take that advice; I think it's absolutely essential that we promote Wales alongside key flag carriers of the economy. Aston Martin is an obvious one; we could include with that the likes of Airbus, we could include QinetiQ and Raytheon, and many other excellent businesses that showcase advanced manufacturing in the best possible way. There are other businesses in the creative industries and financial and professional services sectors, and many other sectors, that are exemplars around the world. And, equally, there are some incredible home-grown success stories alongside these; the likes of Admiral and Moneypenny really have attracted huge attention around the world and allow Wales to hold its head up high with pride. I would say to those people who have not welcomed the investment by Aston Martin in Wales that perhaps they should show more pride in the outcomes of this Welsh Government. They may not like the Welsh Government, but at least we land the jobs that keep people in employment.
