Part of 2. Questions to the Minister for Rural Affairs and North Wales, and Trefnydd – in the Senedd at 3:02 pm on 28 September 2022.
Absolutely, and thank you, Minister, for your response. It was certainly welcome to hear you're liaising with the Minister for Economy on such an important site, and I'm sure agree with me that it's great news to see Stena Line investing in the port to boost its operations, which is a clear endorsement of the fantastic opportunities that the port of Holyhead has to offer. We also know, Minister, that Stena is at the forefront of seeking to deliver a free port in Holyhead, which would be so beneficial to north Wales, and, of course, is supported fully by the Anglesey free port bidding consortium, chaired by Virginia Crosbie. In light of this, Minister, how will you work with the Minister for Economy and Stena Line to ensure that this fantastic opportunity for a free port is maximised to the full, which will boost our economy in north Wales, support communities and create jobs?
