1. Questions to the Cabinet Secretary for Transport and North Wales

<p>You&nbsp;know, they have a brass neck, they really do. Selective memory as well. When Rishi Sunak promised that £1 billion for electrification of the main line, there was no business case behind it. He hadn't even informed the Department for Transport. The reason that he and others in the room were grinning so much was because he knew it was a great big joke—a joke at our expense in north Wales.</p>
<p>Now, you mentioned that the problem with bus transport under this deregulated system that we have is minute. Thirty per cent, I heard last week, 30 per cent of job offers in north Wales to young people are rejected because of a lack of bus services to get them to and from work. That is not a minute problem. That is a problem that we will seek to address through re-regulation, making sure that networks suit passenger needs.</p>
<p>And in terms of network north Wales, first of all, that £13 million is in addition to the money that we're already spending, such as the £800 million introducing brand-new trains. It's important to note that on the north Wales main line 87 per cent of trains are now brand new. Every single train on the Wrexham to Liverpool line is brand new. That's as a result of Welsh Labour investing £800 million in the Welsh railways. Now, I'm looking forward to next week's comprehensive spending review, because we've made the strongest possible case for the delivery of the transport commission's recommendations in south Wales and in north Wales, and those component parts&nbsp;in north Wales are the bedrock of metro infrastructure services. They deal with infrastructure constraints at Chester and Padeswood, and the need to introduce better safety measures along the north Wales main line.</p>
<p>But you ask: will people see benefits? Let me just tell you what benefits they're going to be seeing across north Wales in the next 18 months that have already been planned, that are part of our funded process of upgrading public transport:&nbsp;new and improved services, 50 per cent more services across the north Wales main line, direct into Liverpool. We're going to see new Fflecsi services; we're going to see new TrawsCymru services; we're going to see a doubling of services between the great cities of Wrexham and Chester. And we are also going to see more work being done on the Wrexham to Liverpool line, to make sure that that is the spine of metro services across north Wales in the coming years.&nbsp;We deliver; you just offer empty promises.</p>

2. Legislative Consent Memorandum: Tobacco and Vapes Bill (2024 - 2025)

<p>Absolutely. So, one of the very first meetings that I had was with the Minister, Andrew Gwynne, and it was wonderful—just absolutely coming from the same perspective on this. Instantly, it was like, 'We have got so much to learn from Wales. Can we come and see how you've managed to roll out some of the bans that you already have in Wales, and see how they have worked, and show people that this is a positive thing?' So, that's always been wonderful. There has been a tremendous amount of acknowledgement and respect, I would say, for what we have achieved here in Wales through the Senedd.</p>
<p>Also, we have just been working really collaboratively all the way through. My officials meet with UK Government officials on a regular basis, and it is absolutely the intention that the UK nations carry on working jointly as we implement this. So, I see this as being something that, again, is going to be transformative and is going to make a huge difference to generations. I'm very confident that we will be able to achieve that smoke-free generation, which actually was, initially, very much promoted by the previous Prime Minister, Rishi Sunak.</p>

1. Questions to the Cabinet Secretary for Transport and North Wales

<p>Well, the announcement by Rishi Sunak very shortly before the UK general election came as quite a shock to not just us, because we hadn’t been engaged in the process of determining that particular announcement and the figures around it, but it came as a shock to the Department for Transport itself and to Network Rail, who were never asked to actually commence any work on it. I rather fear that that promise was made as a panic response to the polls that were being published at the time that showed that there’d be a landslide defeat, which eventually occurred. I think, based on his announcement, it probably is more likely that you’d be able to land on the moon in a bathtub than see electrification delivered under the Tories with their false promise.</p>
<p>Instead, what we have got is an agreed pipeline, through the Wales rail board, of enhancements to north Wales. It forms the top of the list of enhancements. And that comprises of north Wales main line improvements, which are starting this year—they’re starting this year; it includes the borderlands line to deliver the metro services that Janet Finch-Saunders has kindly asked for and which we will deliver; it also includes upgrades to stations and includes new stations; and, crucially, it includes resolving the capacity challenges at Chester, because that’s preventing us from running more services in and out of north Wales. That’s the list; it’s been agreed by the DfT, and now we’re going to deliver it.</p>

1. Questions to the Cabinet Secretary for Transport and North Wales

<p>Thank you, Cabinet Secretary. I note that, earlier in your response, you said that there was a lack of investment from Network Rail, but this is nothing new. This goes back to 1966—the people of north Wales have been waiting for electrification of the line, and we’ve seen investment—significant investment—in our railway lines across the UK, in terms of the TransPennine Express, HS2, and the Oxford-to-Cambridge line, and some of those being announced by Rachel Reeves. And, previously, Rishi Sunak, before the general election, promised to spend £1 billion on the electrification of the north Wales line. So, can you outline how you’re prioritising transport infrastructure in the north and clarify what representations you are making to the UK Government, with your party colleagues now, in respect of rail infrastructure in north Wales, which is significantly lagging behind other areas that have been the priority of the Chancellor of the Exchequer quite recently?</p>
