A follow-up question to that is the relationship with the Development Bank of Wales, of course. I take it that it's the same thinking in terms of how they're going to be interwoven, and reinforce one another, that that's in the offing as well.

Okay. I think we have done enough on energy and grids and so forth. Can we move on to something that's quite exciting, I think, namely the new national economic development agency? You referred to the Basque Country, and I agree that there are many lessons…

And is there a time frame, roughly, for the publication or development of this strategy?

General Ministerial Scrutiny: Enterprise, Connectivity and Energy
