Well, not just myself but also my colleagues, primarily Kirsty Williams, the education Minister, would I'm sure take a very keen interest in the proposal. We will look at it very carefully, and I can assure the Member that I'm in regular calls with TVR and with Britishvolt. These are significant opportunities for the Welsh economy, and in particular TVR offers an enormous opportunity for the Heads of the Valleys as well, not just in terms of job creation but in terms of kudos that the brand could bring to the area.

I should put on record today my thanks to the National Digital Exploitation Centre, which has proven to be incredibly valuable during the course of the pandemic, offering free support from the Ebbw Vale site, and I can assure the Member today that we are fully committed to delivering on the Tech Valleys initiative.
