Perhaps the best de facto example of local government preparation for Brexit in Wales is represented by the north Wales growth deal and north Wales growth bid, based upon funding, direct and indirect from both Governments, but also internal devolution to be equivalent to that devolved from the UK Government to the Northern Powerhouse. It was understood that heads of terms would be agreed between the Governments and the growth board by the end of February, but nothing has been heard publicly since then. Are you able to provide, therefore, an update on the current position in that regard?
