:00:00. > :00:00.protest. Then there are two opposition debates, on the dducation
:00:00. > :00:07.and the economy. First, questions to the Welsh Secretary.
:00:08. > :00:13.I would like to start by putting on records the almost sense of
:00:14. > :00:17.solidarity felt by all people across Wales for the French nation, we
:00:18. > :00:21.stand with them shoulder to shoulder in the difficult and anxious days.
:00:22. > :00:25.The steel industry in Europd is facing a perfect storm as a result
:00:26. > :00:30.of a glut of cheap imports, falling prices and high energy costs, with
:00:31. > :00:35.nearly half of the primary steel industry in Wales, we fully
:00:36. > :00:39.recognise the impact on Welsh and their families. We are workhng with
:00:40. > :00:45.the industry and the devolvdd administration to do everything
:00:46. > :00:49.possibly to support the indtstry. We would want to associate ourselves
:00:50. > :00:59.with his word about France on this side of the House. On the 28th of
:01:00. > :01:02.October, he attended a compdtitive Council on the steel industry.
:01:03. > :01:06.Following that EU meeting, there were plenty of warm words issued in
:01:07. > :01:12.a written statement. Can thd Secretary of State tell the House
:01:13. > :01:16.what practical measures there will be to help the steel industry in
:01:17. > :01:21.this extremely difficult tile? I thank him for the honourabld
:01:22. > :01:27.gentleman. The House should be aware that there has been an explosion in
:01:28. > :01:33.the last hour in the steel plant in Cardiff, our thoughts are whth the
:01:34. > :01:38.workers at this time and emdrgency workers who are there at thhs time
:01:39. > :01:41.and emergency workers who are there as we these global challengds facing
:01:42. > :01:48.the steel industry, he will be aware of the specific practical working
:01:49. > :01:51.groups we have established `fter the summit, engaging the Welsh `nd
:01:52. > :01:55.Scottish administrations, and the action that has been taken for the
:01:56. > :02:02.Secretary of State for business at a European partner level, to get them
:02:03. > :02:05.to focus seriously on tacklhng dumping and bring forward state aid
:02:06. > :02:11.so we can compensate our stdel industry for the costs they face at
:02:12. > :02:18.this time. What assurances can my right honourable friend givd me that
:02:19. > :02:22.the procurement for life whhch infrastructure projects such as the
:02:23. > :02:28.electrification of the mainline will prioritise British Steel? I am
:02:29. > :02:31.grateful for him raising thhs question, it gives me an opportunity
:02:32. > :02:37.to talk about a practical mdasure we have taken in recent weeks, which is
:02:38. > :02:49.to change the guidelines for government departments on how they
:02:50. > :02:53.use steel. Hopefully it will give more opportunity for UK stedl
:02:54. > :02:58.manufacturer to win bigger contract, and with the government makhng
:02:59. > :03:04.record investment into infrastructure, that is eight good
:03:05. > :03:08.opportunity. If we do not t`ckle Chinese dumping, all of these other
:03:09. > :03:11.measures will count for absolutely nothing. And the future for the
:03:12. > :03:17.industry in this country is very bleak. I agree with the sentiment
:03:18. > :03:21.and direction of the question. This is the backdrop to the glob`l
:03:22. > :03:24.challenge and it is not just for the British Steel industry, but for the
:03:25. > :03:29.steel industry in North America and all across Europe. This is the
:03:30. > :03:34.backdrop, a glut of cheap Chinese steel, we are leading effort at
:03:35. > :03:39.European level to tackle dulping. We have voted for the anti-dumping
:03:40. > :03:44.measures in one specific section of the steel industry and we are
:03:45. > :03:48.continuing those discussions. I thank my honourable friend for his
:03:49. > :03:51.answers so far. What measurds is he taking, and his department, to lobby
:03:52. > :03:59.other government departments to ensure that our infrastructtre
:04:00. > :04:03.projects pre-order steel from Wales and other areas of the country to
:04:04. > :04:09.ensure there is a future for steel in Wales? He is right, that taps
:04:10. > :04:13.into the points I made about the changes we have made in procurement
:04:14. > :04:19.guidelines. The crossrail project, for example, which used 50,000
:04:20. > :04:24.tonnes of steel from Celsa steel which I mentioned a few momdnts ago,
:04:25. > :04:27.that is a great example of TK Government investing in
:04:28. > :04:30.infrastructure, using the power of our procurement to create growth
:04:31. > :04:39.opportunities for British steel manufacturers. ... The concdrning
:04:40. > :04:42.news about the plant in Celsa, can he tell us anything more he knows
:04:43. > :04:50.about the incident? And enstre there is full support for all responding
:04:51. > :04:53.to and investigate in that hncident? The incident as I understand
:04:54. > :04:58.happened in the last hour, ambulances are at the scene, I am
:04:59. > :05:02.told by officials that therd are three injuries at fight and that is
:05:03. > :05:05.all I know at this moment. Our thoughts are very much with the
:05:06. > :05:12.workers, their families and emergency services the scend. Can I
:05:13. > :05:15.first echo the words of the Secretary of State both in respect
:05:16. > :05:22.of the tragic events in Parhs and the explosion at Celsa this morning.
:05:23. > :05:25.Mr Speaker, the Secretary of State knows just how serious the crisis
:05:26. > :05:29.facing the steel industry in Wales is, and indeed in the whole of the
:05:30. > :05:36.UK. Four years ago, the Chancellor promised a conversation package to
:05:37. > :05:39.the energy intensive industries -- compensation package. What
:05:40. > :05:42.reassurance can he give to the thousands of workers in Walds whose
:05:43. > :05:44.jobs depend on the steel industry that his government will deliver
:05:45. > :05:54.that package by the end of this month? The point I would make first
:05:55. > :05:59.up is that we are in the process of delivering that compensation. We
:06:00. > :06:02.have already paid out ?50 mhllion in compensation to British stedl
:06:03. > :06:06.companies, not least to companies based in Wales. The money is already
:06:07. > :06:10.getting to the steel companhes. What we are talking about is getting that
:06:11. > :06:13.final state aid clearance for the final element of the compensation
:06:14. > :06:19.package which is really important for the steel companies, and we are
:06:20. > :06:23.pressing hard to get that. Well Mr Speaker, after four years, his
:06:24. > :06:26.government has still not finished negotiating one package. Th`t hardly
:06:27. > :06:33.bodes well for the prime Minister is mating about EU reform. -- laking.
:06:34. > :06:37.His government has made much of simply renewing existing
:06:38. > :06:42.anti-dumping measures. With 94% of the Chinese steel that comes into
:06:43. > :06:46.the EU flooding the UK markdt, can he explain why his ministerhal
:06:47. > :06:50.colleague in the EU Council of ministers is blocking the
:06:51. > :06:55.much-needed reform of the trade defence instruments? I am not sure
:06:56. > :07:00.that the honourable lady is fully sighted in all the actions we are
:07:01. > :07:06.taking at a European level on this issue. The Secretary of State for
:07:07. > :07:10.business and his colleague, Minister of State for business, has been at
:07:11. > :07:14.the forefront of discussions in negotiation at European levdl to get
:07:15. > :07:17.change on this and get real, practical, urgent action on
:07:18. > :07:20.anti-dumping, state aid cle`rance for the compensation for endrgy
:07:21. > :07:24.costs, we are leading the w`y in trying to get change at European
:07:25. > :07:33.level to support and protect our Steel industry. Question two. It was
:07:34. > :07:37.a Conservative government which introduced the Welsh language act
:07:38. > :07:40.which provided for the use of the Welsh language in the court system.
:07:41. > :07:44.We are committed to remodelling our courts to make them more
:07:45. > :07:49.cost-effective and efficient. These changes will give due consideration
:07:50. > :07:54.to the needs of Welsh speakdrs. I would like to take this opportunity
:07:55. > :07:58.to extend our sympathies to every nation that has suffered at the high
:07:59. > :08:04.and of IS in recent days and also expressed concern about the
:08:05. > :08:12.explosion in South Wales. I understand the Ministry of Justice
:08:13. > :08:19.has closed its cooperation on the reform of the court system hn Wales,
:08:20. > :08:23.including 12 courts closing without undertaking a Welsh languagd
:08:24. > :08:28.assessment as required by l`w. Will the Secretary of State ensure that
:08:29. > :08:34.Wales wide is undertaken and that its accommodation supplement eight
:08:35. > :08:41.before any decisions are re`ched in court closure? I am happy to confirm
:08:42. > :08:47.to the honourable lady that of Welsh impact language assessment will be
:08:48. > :08:50.included in the consultation. We are determined to protect interdsts of
:08:51. > :08:58.Welsh language speakers as hs devastated by the Welsh language
:08:59. > :09:01.scheme of the Department. Over many decades, Conservative governance
:09:02. > :09:06.have a strong record of supporting the Welsh language. Does my
:09:07. > :09:10.honourable friend agree that every Department of government including
:09:11. > :09:18.justice should be committed to improving the Welsh languagd, and
:09:19. > :09:25.that every department at Westminster does that? My honourable frhend is
:09:26. > :09:29.absolutely right, protecting and preserving our heritage is ` core
:09:30. > :09:32.conservative sensible and this government, like previous
:09:33. > :09:36.Conservative governments, h`ve everything they could to secure
:09:37. > :09:40.that. The government's Digital agenda provide an opportunity to
:09:41. > :09:43.bring about new innovations to in harness the opportunities to use the
:09:44. > :09:48.Welsh language in the court system and other government servicds.
:09:49. > :09:55.Access to justice in both Wdlsh and English is important to my
:09:56. > :09:59.constituents as in north-west Wales. Alternatives such as visual courts
:10:00. > :10:02.and paying fines over mobilds is not possible in areas like this in
:10:03. > :10:18.English or Welsh because we do not have the info structure. Thd state
:10:19. > :10:20.was state reform must continue, but that is allied to the digit`l
:10:21. > :10:25.translation the government hs bringing about. ?69 million is being
:10:26. > :10:29.invested in broadband in Wales, added the European aid and Welsh
:10:30. > :10:33.government money. We have also announced a consultation on a
:10:34. > :10:45.minimum service requirement in terms of broadband distribution.
:10:46. > :10:50.A year on from the UK investment Summit in Newport, inward investment
:10:51. > :10:54.figures in Wales show the bdst course for a quarter of a cdntury.
:10:55. > :10:59.This is no coincidence, with the support of the UK Government, Wales
:11:00. > :11:05.continues to provide a world-class offer for investment. Will he join
:11:06. > :11:11.the ink on graduating the workers in Wales which make it such a body in
:11:12. > :11:17.place to invest? Does he agree that this means the long-term economic
:11:18. > :11:22.plan of the government is working? I agree, the economy in Wales is
:11:23. > :11:25.getting stronger thanks in part to new inward investment. A few weeks
:11:26. > :11:30.ago, I welcomed Israeli invdstors to South Wales where they annotnce ?3
:11:31. > :11:35.million of new investment, creating 100 new jobs. We should takd
:11:36. > :11:40.encouragement from the fact that levels of inward investment in Wales
:11:41. > :11:43.are back to the levels we s`w in the days of the worst of element agency
:11:44. > :11:50.before it was abolished by the Welsh Labour government. -- the Wdlsh
:11:51. > :11:53.development agency. I am pldased to hear him welcome the projects, will
:11:54. > :12:00.he also congratulate the Welsh Labour government for making it
:12:01. > :12:02.possible? I think the important thing is to welcome the mord
:12:03. > :12:09.effective partnership that there is now between UK and Welsh government
:12:10. > :12:20.Iraq to deliver this inward investment. The 87% of new projects
:12:21. > :12:23.coming into Wales are a restlt of new cooperation between the
:12:24. > :12:27.governments. Crucial to attracting inward investment is high-qtality
:12:28. > :12:30.transport infrastructure, so I was transport infrastructure, so I was
:12:31. > :12:34.delighted to see the Parlialentary undersecretary of state at the rail
:12:35. > :12:36.summit last week. Would my right honourable friend can pay to his
:12:37. > :12:40.colleagues in the Department for Transport the clear message that
:12:41. > :12:45.came out of that summit, th`t North Wells regards itself as part of the
:12:46. > :12:52.northern powerhouse and Duane is an electrified railway line? -, demands
:12:53. > :12:57.and it fired railway line? He has been a powerful champion into a
:12:58. > :13:04.transport infrastructure in North Wales. That was an important summit
:13:05. > :13:06.and the message has been received loud and clear about the importance
:13:07. > :13:12.of investing in transport in North Wales. The Secretary of State will
:13:13. > :13:15.acknowledge the important contribution of higher educ`tion
:13:16. > :13:23.into the inward investment `genda. If he satisfied that UK TI `re fully
:13:24. > :13:25.aware of what is going on in Welsh universities, it giving the more
:13:26. > :13:33.ammunition to promote the good story of Wales? He raises an important
:13:34. > :13:34.point, we have world-class higher education institutions in W`les
:13:35. > :13:39.right at the cutting edge of right at the cutting edge of
:13:40. > :13:42.innovation. It is a reminder to us to keep reminding UK TI of the
:13:43. > :13:50.importance to that and how they link into business growth in Walds.
:13:51. > :13:55.Question four. The single market offers enormous
:13:56. > :13:59.opportunities for Welsh bushness accounting for 42% of Welsh experts.
:14:00. > :14:05.It is however also the case that exports to non-EU countries are 58%
:14:06. > :14:10.and are worth more than ?7 billion to the Welsh economy. That hs why we
:14:11. > :14:14.are seeking EU reforms to go further and faster on competitiveness, trade
:14:15. > :14:17.and the regulation which will strengthen exports. Does thd
:14:18. > :14:25.Secretary of State agree with me that the success of Airbus
:14:26. > :14:30.demonstrates the value of the single market, and so reforming thd single
:14:31. > :14:45.market further to the digit`l economy and energy and it'll give
:14:46. > :14:49.them more capacity to expand. We need to invest in technologx, if we
:14:50. > :14:54.are going to drive prosperity in Wales, we need more great in higher
:14:55. > :15:00.technology. I am proud to l`unch a new compound semiconductor centre in
:15:01. > :15:09.Cardiff University, emblem of the changes in the Welsh economx. 2 ,000
:15:10. > :15:14.jobs in Swansea rely on being in the single market. Swansea is in the
:15:15. > :15:23.convergence funding area. Wd'll he support Swansea MPs bid to get a new
:15:24. > :15:29.tax centre in Wales into Sw`nsea, a relative area of separation, and not
:15:30. > :15:33.Cardiff? There are exciting things happening in Swansea and thd Swansea
:15:34. > :15:35.Bay region, I am delighted to see Swansea MPs collaborating and
:15:36. > :15:39.working together. If they h`ve a proposal to make around futtre
:15:40. > :15:41.changes to delivery of governance services and opportunities to
:15:42. > :15:46.Swansea, send them through `nd we will consider them. Will thd
:15:47. > :15:49.Secretary of State agree with me that no one who believes we should
:15:50. > :15:54.leave the European Union is suggesting that we stop trading with
:15:55. > :16:01.our European neighbours? Thd fact that they sell more to us than we do
:16:02. > :16:07.to then means there is no chance of them wanting to stop trading with
:16:08. > :16:11.us. The truth is that Wales's future prosperity depends on whethdr we can
:16:12. > :16:15.transform the economy, improve productivity, it invest in transport
:16:16. > :16:21.infrastructure and improve skills and education. That is wherd the
:16:22. > :16:27.future and prosperity of Wales lies and the question about the Duropean
:16:28. > :16:30.Union is therefore secondarx. The Secretary of State is a little bit
:16:31. > :16:36.shy today, why can he not jtst recognise that there are 190,00
:16:37. > :16:40.Welsh jobs that totally depdnd on EU trade? And Wales is a net
:16:41. > :16:47.beneficiary of EU aid? Can he not just a it? We will protect him from
:16:48. > :17:00.the Tory Little Britain sketch behind him. Can he not just say it?
:17:01. > :17:03.I am not often described as shy Interesting that come across that
:17:04. > :17:10.way for the honourable lady this morning. I do not recognise the
:17:11. > :17:13.figures she quotes. The important point is that the single market
:17:14. > :17:20.create a strategic opportunhty for Welsh business, that is what we need
:17:21. > :17:23.to defend and extend. The Rugby World Cup demonstrated yet
:17:24. > :17:29.again how Wales punches well above its weight in the global sporting
:17:30. > :17:33.arena. This was the most successful World Cup in history, gener`ting
:17:34. > :17:36.?316 million for the Welsh dconomy. There should be no limit to our
:17:37. > :17:43.ambition to build on these successes and attract more tourism and inward
:17:44. > :17:49.investment into Wales. What steps is he taking to attract even more high
:17:50. > :17:52.quality sporting events to Wales, for example, wealth games? Something
:17:53. > :17:57.which would make my honourable friend for Cardiff North happy, but
:17:58. > :18:04.also people across the country - for example, the Commonwealth games?
:18:05. > :18:06.It was a Conservative motion in the assembly in 2006 that voted
:18:07. > :18:12.unanimously to attract the Commonwealth games to Wales. The
:18:13. > :18:17.next opportunity is in 2026. I know my honourable friend the melber for
:18:18. > :18:20.cordless North is keen on this date -- Cardiff North and keen that
:18:21. > :18:23.Cardiff makes a bid, the Wales Office is ready and waiting to
:18:24. > :18:31.support any data that comes forward from Wales. We were pleased to see
:18:32. > :18:35.the Rugby World Cup come to Cardiff, I know the Secretary of State shares
:18:36. > :18:38.my concern about the delays on the Great Western Railway. What will he
:18:39. > :18:47.do to insure this does not happen again? She raises an import`nt
:18:48. > :18:49.point, and immediately after those disruptions occurred, my right
:18:50. > :18:53.honourable friend, the Secrdtary of State, spoke with the train
:18:54. > :18:59.operators who have apologisdd to him and the public. We are upgr`ding the
:19:00. > :19:03.Great Western mainline, that will make a significant difference in the
:19:04. > :19:08.wrong term, and we also call on the Welsh government to bring forward to
:19:09. > :19:15.bring forward their proposals for the M4 to improve the infrastructure
:19:16. > :19:20.by road and rail? . Our long-term plan is turning the
:19:21. > :19:24.Welsh economy around. Since 20 count, unemployment has fallen, the
:19:25. > :19:27.manufactory industry has crdated 12,000 new jobs and the Welsh
:19:28. > :19:31.economy has grown faster th`n any other part of the UK. Does he agree
:19:32. > :19:36.that key to rebalancing the economy is getting a proper grip on public
:19:37. > :19:40.finances, and does he share my shock and horror at the recent taxpayers
:19:41. > :19:47.Alliance report that exposes the enormous amount of waste in the
:19:48. > :19:49.public sector in Wales? My honourable friend, with an dagle and
:19:50. > :19:54.sharp eye on care of public sharp eye on care of public
:19:55. > :19:58.finances, makes important points. I was shocked by some of the dxamples
:19:59. > :20:01.we read about. Clearly the Welsh government, the entire publhc sector
:20:02. > :20:05.in Wales, needs to get a much stronger grip on the disciplines of
:20:06. > :20:14.cost control and get on top of managing national finances. The
:20:15. > :20:16.results of the annual survex of earnings shows that Wales is at the
:20:17. > :20:21.bottom of the pay table, and the only part of the British arda where
:20:22. > :20:26.earnings have gone down. Dods that not indicate that the Welsh needs to
:20:27. > :20:29.have more fiscal powers as he has supported for Scotland, and
:20:30. > :20:43.Westminster is clearly failhng? I do agree that it needs to have
:20:44. > :20:49.more physical tools and needs to be encouraged to be a more fin`ncially
:20:50. > :20:56.responsible organisation but the point is why he should be ghving his
:20:57. > :21:04.full throated support to thd measures we are attempting to bring
:21:05. > :21:10.in. Last month, I published the draft Wales built for pre-
:21:11. > :21:18.legislative security -- scrttiny. I would like to hear their vidws. I
:21:19. > :21:22.thank the Secretary of Statd for that answer. There was substantial
:21:23. > :21:30.the liberation on our futurd led by a distinguished officer, Sir Paul
:21:31. > :21:35.silk. The Secretary of Statd has chosen so far to include so far of
:21:36. > :21:40.his recommendations -- so fdw of his recommendations. So will thhs be his
:21:41. > :21:49.final vision of our country's constitutional future? For the
:21:50. > :21:53.foreseeable future, is this it? In terms of the silk recommend`tions,
:21:54. > :21:56.of course a lot of the recommendations don't need primary
:21:57. > :22:00.legislation at all and we h`ve already delivered them and we are
:22:01. > :22:03.committed to delivering the silt recommendations that we havd agreed
:22:04. > :22:08.on and which we announced in the Saint David's the announcemdnt
:22:09. > :22:12.earlier this year. There is been a general and substantial and growing
:22:13. > :22:17.dissatisfaction with the Wales Bill not least from my colleagues. Would
:22:18. > :22:23.he not be better advised to withdraw the bill and start again? Mr
:22:24. > :22:30.Speaker, I fear we were to follow that course of action then we would
:22:31. > :22:34.see no progress whatsoever on strengthening and clarifying Welsh
:22:35. > :22:43.devolution which I understood the party opposite actually supported.
:22:44. > :22:49.When I raise this issue for the last general election, a previous Welsh
:22:50. > :22:51.Secretary said I was wrong, so will the president -- present Welsh
:22:52. > :22:54.Secretary say is it not the case that if the Welsh people wotld like
:22:55. > :23:04.a Welsh Parliament rather than a Welsh assembly, they will now be
:23:05. > :23:08.able to have 1? Mr Speaker, to paraphrase the famous old m`n, it
:23:09. > :23:11.will be the Welsh people who determine the direction and pace of
:23:12. > :23:18.Welsh devolution, but the powers that in the -- are in the Wdlsh
:23:19. > :23:29.draft bill absolutely do give powers to call itself a parliament and to
:23:30. > :23:35.have lawmaking response abilities. Lope has been a scourge on the Welsh
:23:36. > :23:38.economy for too long. Reforling tax credits is an important part of our
:23:39. > :23:42.plan to transform the whole of the UK to a low tax, higher wagd
:23:43. > :23:47.economy. The Chancellor set out the details of these reforms in the
:23:48. > :23:51.Autumn Statement. I would lhke to know what representations does the
:23:52. > :23:57.Minister and the department made to the Chancellor about the impact of
:23:58. > :24:04.the loss of 44,600 people in North Wales and 200,000 people across
:24:05. > :24:07.Wales of ?1300 per year as ` result of his changes. Give me tell me what
:24:08. > :24:12.he has said to the person shtting next to him? Mr Speaker, thd Wales
:24:13. > :24:16.Office is in regular dialogte with my honourable friend the Ch`ncellor
:24:17. > :24:20.and the Treasury and the Ch`ncellor has set out how we plan to `chieve a
:24:21. > :24:27.goal of a low tax, low welf`re, high wage economy. He needs to rdcognise
:24:28. > :24:30.that the tax credit changes are part of a wider reform including
:24:31. > :24:36.increases to the national lhving wage, changes to Universal Credit,
:24:37. > :24:42.and help with childcare, and we hope the Welsh Government will follow
:24:43. > :24:49.suit. The chair of the Welsh affairs Select Committee must be he`rd. Mr
:24:50. > :24:52.Speaker, to the Minister confirm that the Government are listening
:24:53. > :24:57.very carefully to any concerns about tax credits that the people of Wales
:24:58. > :25:01.stand to benefit enormously from the increase in the tax threshold and
:25:02. > :25:02.the increase in the minimum wage and this Government's determination to
:25:03. > :25:13.stick to the long-term economic plan. Mr Speaker, I am gratdful for
:25:14. > :25:20.the question because the increase in the national living wage on the
:25:21. > :25:22.basic minimum wage will be 7.5% That is 100,000 people that will
:25:23. > :25:32.benefit in Wales immediatelx from next April. Number 9, sir. Small
:25:33. > :25:35.businesses are the lifeblood of the Welsh economy and are leading the
:25:36. > :25:40.way including new jobs and driving growth. There are now 22,000 more
:25:41. > :25:42.businesses in Wales than in 201 . Supporting these businesses to grow
:25:43. > :25:48.is a key part of this Government's long-term plan for Wales. I thank
:25:49. > :25:50.the Secretary of State for his answer. Would he agree that
:25:51. > :25:56.infrastructure is critical to supporting small businesses and the
:25:57. > :26:04.electrification of the railway in my constituency will open economic
:26:05. > :26:08.opportunities? I totally agree. Investing in the great Westdrn line
:26:09. > :26:14.is just 1 part of the largest programme of investment in British
:26:15. > :26:26.Railways since the -- since many years ago. The sad situation
:26:27. > :26:36.happening in Cardiff today was well mentioned. The Secretary of State
:26:37. > :26:38.will be aware that the Welsh minister wants separate leg`l
:26:39. > :26:44.jurisdiction now, despite what he said 18 months ago. Can he `ssure us
:26:45. > :26:47.that he is protecting that? I am aware of those calls for Wales to
:26:48. > :26:52.have separate legal jurisdiction. Of course, it is 1 of the sources of
:26:53. > :26:55.Cardiff's growth in recent xears. Investing in legal and profdssional
:26:56. > :26:58.services and IP that moves to greet a separate jurisdiction for Wales
:26:59. > :26:59.will lead to a flight of talent from
