Part of 1. Questions to the Minister for Economy and Transport – in the Senedd at 1:58 pm on 20 March 2019.
Okay. Diolch. Minister, I know you have been a strong advocate of the automotive industrial sector, underscored within the economic action plan, and it's an important industry in Wales that comprises around 150 companies, employing, critically, nearly 19,000 people—13 per cent of the Welsh manufacturing workforce—and generating over £3 billion-worth of revenue, and manufacturing 30 per cent of the 2.7 million engines that are produced in the UK as a whole. So, Minister, what actions are the Welsh Government taking to bolster the automotive industry in Wales as we navigate the uncertain and unprecedented challenges associated with the UK Tory Government Brexit chaos that is deeply harmful to Welsh manufacturing?
