My Department has worked alongside the Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities to ensure that the freeport offer works for Wales. Over the summer, we successfully agreed a prospectus for Wales with the Welsh Government, which was launched in early September.

We are committed to establishing at least one freeport in Wales by the summer of next year, with £26 million in seed funding. The estimates for other freeports suggest they could create more than 18,000 jobs and provide a £3.2 billion boost.

I assure him that in the prospectus he will see a specific reference to the Senedd's Well-being of Future Generations (Wales) Act 2015. Along with giving assurances as to our UK Government's standards, I can assure him that his concerns are unfounded.

The fact that there may be changes in personnel does not change the Government's growth strategy, which remains on course and deserves the support of hon. Members on both sides of the House.

I think of examples from the past in Wales, when inspirational Secretaries of State demonstrated that the economy could be transformed and regenerated through enterprise zones.

We believe that through initiatives such as freeports and investment zones, we will grow our economy which is how to pay for public services. I hope the Welsh public will note Plaid Cymru's ideological opposition to growth.

We are not talking about so-called austerity; we are talking about ensuring that the money allocated in the public spending round that was agreed last year is spent efficiently and wisely. I said that it was right for each Department to look carefully at its priorities to ensure that frontline services—the sort of services in which I know she and I believe—are maintained for the benefit of the citizens whom we serve.
