Question to the Wales Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales, if he plans to announce his decision on the Swansea Bay City Deal to the House before any other public forum.

The Swansea Bay City Region City Deal, which was signed by my Rt hon Friend the Prime Minister on Monday 20 March, paves the way for substantial investment in South West Wales. It will create in excess of 9,000 jobs and secure almost £1.3bn of investment to the region.

I issued the following Written Ministerial Statement on Monday morning to inform the House that the Government had reached this agreement.
