Last week, along with apprentices from the nuclear fuel company Urenco, I visited Coleg Menai in Llangefni.

I am delighted to be speaking on the day that this code of practice is approved by this House.

My island constituency of Ynys Môn is accessed via two bridges: the Menai suspension bridge and the Britannia bridge. Holyhead is the second busiest port in the UK, but bridge repairs and the weather can result in long traffic queues.
