Thank you, Deputy Presiding Officer. I won't repeat anything that Dai Lloyd or Suzy Davies have said, but can I say that we've oft spoken as one on this for the whole period of time? There are not many other issues that you can say that about. But we really have stood together, because we realise how really important this is to the economy of the Swansea bay city region. Will the Welsh Government continue to provide all the support necessary to the Swansea bay city region? And does the Minister accept that to increase the GVA in Wales we need to develop more high-paid highly skilled employment, which is what the Swansea bay city deal is about? It's about getting jobs that pay at a higher level to get our GVA up.
