Written Question
Infrastructure
Monday 15th December 2014

Asked by: Chris Evans (Labour (Co-op) - Caerphilly)

Question to the Wales Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales, what investment the Government has made in infrastructure in Wales since May 2010; and what estimate he has made of the level of that investment in the next five years.

Answered by Stephen Crabb

The Government has made huge progress in delivering the infrastructure that the UK needs, establishing the first ever national infrastructure plan, which now shows that more than 2,500 projects have been completed since 2010.

We have invested over £69 million to provide superfast broadband to over 275,000 homes and businesses in Wales and work has begun on the £212 million investment at the new prison in north Wales. We have provided the Welsh Government with £924 million in additional capital spending power since the Spending Review in 2010, and the Welsh Government will be able to borrow up to £500 million to enable them to complete the investment needed on the M4.

Over the next five years Wales will benefit from major infrastructure projects, including the electrification of the south Wales mainline and the Valley lines rail network. The Government will also continue to work with Hitachi and Horizon to secure the new investment in energy generation at Wylfa Newydd.

Written Question
Iron and Steel: Manufacturing Industries
Tuesday 9th December 2014

Asked by: Chris Evans (Labour (Co-op) - Caerphilly)

Question to the Wales Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales, what discussions he has had with the Welsh Government on the use of public procurement to support the steel industry in Wales.

Answered by Stephen Crabb

Public procurement has the potential to create significant business and growth opportunities and I have met with leaders of the steel industry in Wales to discuss how the industry can best be supported by encouraging the use of domestic steel in UK Government contracts. I have also held discussions on the steel industry in Wales with the Minister of State at the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills as well as the Welsh Government.
