Context
The Welsh Government and local authorities in mid-Wales are pushing for the growth deal to be implemented.
What recent discussions has the Minister had with the Welsh Government and Welsh local authorities on the mid-Wales growth deal? Additionally, will he consider meeting groups and businesses in Ceredigion that are involved in some of those proposals, to see how we can get them implemented as soon as possible?
Over the past week I have held discussions with the Welsh Government's Minister for Economy and Transport, Ken Skates. When I was invited to join the Government, one of the only things that might have dissuaded me was that I was planning to visit Ceredigion with the Welsh Affairs Committee—I believe the hon. Gentleman had arranged for us some whisky tasting and to see some cheese factories. I will therefore take his question as an invitation to visit Ceredigion. I hope it will go on to the Wales Office, and I look forward very much to accepting it—diolch yn fawr.
