Minister, you mentioned wanting to be an early mover on this, which is something that I welcome, and given my constituency I'd like to focus on floating offshore wind. So, how are we best able to utilise the small and medium-sized enterprises that are already available who've been working in the hydrocarbon and petrochemical industries over the years, and utilise their transition away from the energies of the past, and utilise the technologies and the skills that they have to benefit the supply chain to develop these industries off the coast of Pembrokeshire? Diolch.
