Motion NDM6959 Darren Millar

1. Notes that regional economic inequality remains stark across Wales, as evident in the latest GVA figures.

2. Regrets that the Welsh Government’s policies have failed to address economic inequalities between regions in Wales.

3. Welcomes the contribution that the Cardiff city region deal, the Swansea Bay city region deal, a north Wales growth deal and a mid Wales growth deal will make to addressing regional inequality in Wales.

4. Calls on the Welsh Government to:

a) work constructively with the UK Government to deliver growth deals in Wales;

b) review the economic action plan to incorporate a strategy to grow wages and economic prosperity in all parts of Wales and address economic inequalities between regions; and

c) promote a regional development policy post Brexit which supports deprived communities across Wales, including those outside west Wales and the valleys.
