Answered by Cabinet Secretary for Economy and Infrastructure | Answered on 22/07/2016

The Ministerial Taskforce for the South Wales Valleys will meet for the first time in September. During this meeting, members will agree the group's Terms of Reference and prioritise key areas of work. Our discussions will focus on how we can develop a new approach to investing in the future of the most economically deprived areas of the South Wales Valleys, ensuring every individual has the opportunity to fulfil their potential. The taskforce will work across Welsh Government departments to stimulate action and will include a strong focus on the economy, education, health and housing.
