Mike Hedges AM The one
thing I'd like to tell the Cabinet Secretary is that there's massive cross-party
support from people living in the Swansea bay city region to make Swansea bay
city region a success. What I'm asking is: will the Cabinet Secretary confirm
that all the money initially budgeted by the Welsh Government for the Swansea
bay city deal is still available for the Swansea bay city deal?172

Mike Hedges AM I'm very happy to confirm to the Member that
the £125.4 million that we put on the table to get the deal to its conclusion
is still available. I am very committed, and as I said to Angela Burns, to do
everything we can to assist the deal to move into the next phase so that money
that is available can be put to work to support the commitment that I know is
there amongst the local population to make this deal a success.
After the debate, Mike said….. ‘I wanted to let
the Cabinet Minister know of the ongoing Cross Party support for the Swansea
Bay City Deal and to gain clarification from the Minister that previously
available support is still there. This is an opportunity to transform the
fortunes of the City Region and it is vital that everyone pulls together to
maximise the opportunities before us. ‘
Ends
