Economy, Energy and Connectivity Committee

The majority of this session is to note papers that we have received, so I will go through them individually. If anyone wants to draw attention to anything in particular, you can do so. So, 2.1, 2.2, 2.3.

Chair, it was just quickly that I wanted to note the disappointment in the delay that we're still seeing from National Grid. Their hold-up is holding up over £1 billion-worth of public funding for Port Talbot, so I'd just be really interested to get a further update from National Grid towards the end of the year, and to note the disappointment still in that they're not able to get that work done.

Thank you, and I'm sure that's noted.

Thanks, Chair.

Thank you very much. Items 2.4, 2.5, 2.6, 2.7, 2.8, 2.9, 2.10, 2.11, 2.12. Now, with 2.12, there is an issue there where, in going through the documents, it's apparent that there are still questions of clarity and consistency in terms of the relationship with Wales on railways. It's a very complex situation, so I suggest that we write to the Westminster Government to emphasise some of our concerns with regard to those issues once again, which, at the end of the day, relate to the benefit of the people of Wales, as well as facilitating the process in due course.

All content with that?

Okay. Thank you very much.

As there are no other issues, I, therefore, suggest that we turn to Standing Orders and, in accordance with Standing Orders 17.42(vii) and 17.42(ix), I propose that the committee resolves to exclude the public from the remainder of the meeting. Are members of the committee content to do so? Yes. Thank you very much.
