Will the Minister confirm that any funding set aside for North Wales growth will not be affected by the EU Referendum result?
Answered by Cabinet Secretary for Economy and Infrastructure | Answered on 13/07/2016
I am in regular dialogue with the North Wales Economic Ambition Board. On 8 July, I held a North Wales Summit, at which the Ambition Board was represented, to seek agreement on defining a coherent regional vision which aligns with the proposed Northern Powerhouse.
On 30 June, I issued a statement in which I stressed that my priority, following the EU Referendum result, is to maintain economic confidence and stability and protect jobs across all parts of Wales.
