I wouldn't despair. I think there are some really great examples of good practice in Wales. For example, the work of Neath Port Talbot council in really massively accelerating the planning decisions in relation to the electric arc furnace is universally held…

Wel, dwi'n hapus i edrych ar hynna, a dwi ddim eisiau rhoi ateb heb fod fy swyddogion yn edrych ar ffynonellau gwrthrychol. Dwi'n credu bod modd edrych ar rai ffynonellau o wybodaeth, onid oes, ynglyn â chysylltiadau i'r grid, sydd ddim yn benderfyniadau sydd…

Yes, that's decided. And there's more than one factor. So, it's not just about the regulatory framework, which is often where people exclusively focus, but there are different elements to it. They've made some recommendations to us as a Government, and to…

I think you raise a really central point and I think that Governments right across the democratic world at the moment are asking this very question, and Governments right across the political spectrum, to be honest with you: how can the state build faster…

I agree with all of that. Taking the different elements, I think we are liaising and discussing with key UK decision makers. So, in relation to grid connection—this world just lives on acronyms, doesn't it—with NGET, National Grid Electricity Transmission…

Yes, sure. So, as I was alluding to, one part of it is, in essence, working out what electricity demand will be like by 2040, and then, given all the factors that I've just described in terms of electrification as well—. And then part of it is looking at the…

We're expecting to be publishing the strategy in the coming months, and we'll be updating the committee and the Senedd on timescales and work plans in the coming weeks.

Well, work has already begun on our national energy strategy, which as we've set out is going to map out our current and future energy needs, looking forward, certainly to 2040 and possibly beyond. There are long-term gestation periods in this that we need to…

—which is, yes, complex; some would say cluttered. And I think it certainly is something that we are keen to look at. In the context of the development agency, is there a role for streamlining? Is there a role for simplifying the landscape and making sure as…

No, I think that, first of all, to your broader point, one of the things that we've asked the design advisory panel to look at is this question that you raise, which is obviously very legitimate, which is about the economic development landscape, if I can…

Oh, absolutely. And I've met with most of the business representative organisations already and early on in the new administration, precisely for the reason that you suggest, really. I think building as close a relationship as we can with all those business…

I think procurement is one of the levers that we do have, isn't it? And it's £11 billion, I think, of public sector procurement. That's a significant component of the Welsh economy, isn't it, as a whole? I think that Governments across the world, large and…

Yes, a really great question, and obviously we've set this goal, but the Government has policies in a wide range of areas, including on fair work, for example, and we're committed to ensuring that our economic interventions and policies—for example, through…

It's a really interesting question. There are a range of possible targets that you could use, of course. I think that we were clearly of the mind that you needed to have a single overarching goal in order to have clarity so that you could align your…

It's a really great question. One of the things that we have been focusing on is understanding the reasons for the productivity gap, so decomposing the gap, as economists describe it. So, what are the different elements that are contributing to it? Because it…
