Part of 1. Questions to the First Minister – in the Senedd at 1:35 pm on 14 May 2019.
First Minister, Dai Lloyd pointed out that the energy proposals of the tidal lagoon could create a new sector of industry across the south Wales region and, clearly, also support other industries there, including the steel plant in Port Talbot. Following last Friday's announcement of the joint venture collapse that is likely to happen between Tata and Thyssenkrupp, this is now a possibility of actually where we can see steel being used from the Port Talbot plant in a project that would give benefits not just to the region, but to the whole of Wales with energy. Will you therefore go back to the UK Government with the message that this is a possibility of how the UK Government can help the steel industry, as well as the tidal lagoon and tidal energy?
