Question
Will the Cabinet Secretary provide an update on his latest discussions with the ports industry in west Wales?
Answer
Answered by Cabinet Secretary for Economy, Energy and Welsh Language
I am looking forward to engaging with the ports industry in west Wales, particularly around opportunities for green jobs from investment in offshore renewable energy.
The ports industry in West Wales makes a critical contribution to our economy by providing jobs and access to trade routes to the Republic of Ireland. Welsh ports have an opportunity to be at the forefront of supporting the generation of renewable marine energy, which is an essential step towards creating a low carbon economy.
