Question
I thank the Minister for his answer and welcome him to his place. Great British Nuclear is soon to announce plans to get behind gigawatt-scale and small modular reactor nuclear power stations.

The scale of the programme will require tens of thousands of highly skilled people in communities across Wales and England. What is the Minister doing to ensure that we have a skilled workforce to deliver this programme at pace and to create career opportunities for our young people, such as those on Ynys Môn?
