Part of the debate – in the Senedd at 4:34 pm on 3 March 2020.
I didn't quite catch the question at the end of that, but on the Public Accounts Committee, we've been looking at the loans situation of Cardiff Airport, and there are some confusions there that need to be cleared up on the committee. I think what we would be afraid of is, yes, it's fine to give loans to a project, but those loans should not amount to a blank cheque. Those loans should not be unending and those loans should be tied in with a vision of the future and a strategy that everyone buys into and that will see a return to the taxpayer at the end of the day. But, of course, I accept that they do need to have loans of some sort.
In closing, Dirprwy Lywydd, because I know I'm out of time, I would say, what about north Wales? What about north Wales? Aside from £20 million for the north Wales metro, what about investments and upgrades to the A55, the lifeline of the north Wales economy? I think there have been opportunities taken in this budget but there are many opportunities that have been missed. I think that, in future, we need to see a budget that delivers for the whole of Wales, not just for the south of Wales and that Members in north Wales will see investment, green investment, and green infrastructure investment, as well, that delivers for everyone across Wales.
