First Minister, the announcement of a £100 million programme of investment in Ebbw Vale, in Blaenau Gwent, in the future of the economy of Blaenau Gwent, was welcomed by people both within the borough and across the Heads of the Valleys. It demonstrates a real commitment from the Welsh Government to the economy of Ebbw Vale and Blaenau Gwent, and it also demonstrates a real vote of confidence in the Heads of the Valleys as a place where we can do business. First Minister, can you outline to us today how you expect to see the Tech Valleys programme developing over the coming years and when you believe the people of Blaenau Gwent will see the benefits of this programme of investment?
