There are ongoing discussions about improving transport infrastructure in Wales, including the M4.
What recent discussions has he had with the First Minister of Wales on improving transport infrastructure in Wales?
As I outlined in my previous answer, I am hoping to meet the First Minister later this week to discuss a range of issues. The M4 is central to cross-border connectivity, and improvements are well overdue if we are serious about levelling up.

Context
The MP is keen on securing a ferry crossing between her North Devon constituency and south Wales, which could have cultural and economic benefits.
Will the Secretary of State meet me to see how to progress a project for a ferry crossing from Ilfracombe to south Wales?
There used to be a ferry from Tenby to North Devon back in the old days. I would be very happy to see that introduced. Until the Welsh Government honour their 2016 manifesto commitment to improve the M4, the quickest way of visiting each other will be a 30-year-old ferry chugging across the Bristol channel.
