Does the Cabinet Secretary plan to publish a comprehensive progress update on the Welsh Enterprise Zones for the years 2015 and 2016 (following the 1st and 2nd progress updates for 2013 and 2014) and in addition does he intend to publish an update covering all years since the zones' creation?

I recently issued a written statement updating Members on Enterprise Zones prior to the summer recess: http://gov.wales/about/cabinet/cabinetstatements/2017/entzones/?lang=en

The progress updates produced in 2013 and 2014 were replaced in 2015 with individual Enterprise Zone Board Strategic Plans (at http://gov.wales/topics/businessandeconomy/growing-the-economy/enterprisezones/?lang=en) and these have recently been updated to include progress to March 2017. The Enterprise Zone Boards will be updating their Strategic Plans further in 2017-18 and these plans will also be published in due course.
