Question to the Department for Science, Innovation & Technology:

To ask His Majesty's Government how many jobs they anticipate creating in the AI growth zones planned for Wales; and by what year such employment will be achieved.

AI Growth Zones will bring thousands of new jobs and millions of pounds in investment right to the places that need it most.

In North Wales, we anticipate 3,450 jobs will be created, and in South Wales we expect at least 5,000 jobs will be created - spanning construction, temporary roles and high-skilled engineering and technical roles.

Job creation will commence as infrastructure works progress, with full delivery of this infrastructure projected by the early 2030s.
