Thank you, Minister. In December last year, the new International Convention Centre Wales in Newport hosted the BBC Welsh sports personality of the year. It was a tremendous success and I was extremely pleased to see the peerless Alun Wyn Jones win the top prize.

Following this, I've written to the BBC and the ICC urging them to consider the venue for the UK sports personality of the year. Three of the last 13 UK sports personalities have been Welsh, yet the event has never been hosted in Wales, the only country in the United Kingdom not to. So, now is the time to correct this.

Newport, along with the ICC, is the perfect place to host the UK BBC sports personality of the year, and offers huge potential for similar events and the benefits that they bring. Please could you add your support and your cajoling to bring this event to Newport and Wales?
