Part of 1. Questions to the Minister for Economy and Transport – in the Senedd at 1:46 pm on 8 May 2019.
Thank you, Llywydd. Minister, as I said in questions to the First Minister yesterday, celebrating 20 years of devolution is an opportunity to assess 20 years of our Assembly, our national Parliament, providing a voice for all, of course, and it’s an opportunity to look back at 20 years of the work of the Welsh Government. In terms of Plaid Cymru, we were in Government for four years, holding the economy brief, and I'm very proud of what my predecessor, Ieuan Wyn Jones, did, including pushing the ProAct and ReAct programmes that did so much at the time to mitigate some of the worst impacts of the financial crisis. But that’s four years out of 20—20 years that have been led by a Labour Government. So, how can you explain that the comparative wealth of Wales has fallen over the past 20 years under your leadership?
