What assessment he has made of the potential impact of investment zones on the Welsh economy.
Robert Buckland
The Secretary of State for Wales
Investment zones will be created right across the UK, and our intention in Wales is to design and deliver the policy by working with the Welsh Government and local agencies to increase growth.
Bob Blackman
Conservative, Harrow East
I thank my right hon. and learned Friend for that answer. Is it not incumbent on the Welsh Government to co-operate fully with the UK Government in order to ensure success for all the people of Wales?
Robert Buckland
The Secretary of State for Wales
My hon. Friend puts it extremely well. We have a good example with freeports. I very much hope that the Welsh Government step up to the plate on investment zones.
