Written Answers
Energy: North Wales
Asked by: Andrew Ranger (Labour - Wrexham)
Tuesday 19th November 2024

Question to the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero:

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what role North Wales will have in helping the UK reach it's 2030 energy targets.

Answered by Kerry McCarthy - Parliamentary Under Secretary of State (Department for Energy Security and Net Zero)

Following NESO’s advice on 2030 Clean Power, the Government will publish a Clean Power Action Plan later this year, which will set out how we can deliver our ambition. The resources of North Wales already play a key role in delivering clean power, including through the Gywnt Y Mor offshore windfarm, and the Government is committed to working with the Welsh Government to deliver on our national missions and serve the people of Wales.

Avanti West Coast: North Wales
Asked by: Andrew Ranger (Labour - Wrexham)
Friday 29th November 2024

Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what assessment she has made of the adequacy of the performance of Avanti West Coast trains from stations in north Wales.

Answered by Simon Lightwood - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Transport)

The Secretary of State is clear that the performance of Avanti West Coast (AWC) on its North Wales route is not good enough with passengers facing too many cancellations and delays. Poor Network Rail (NR) infrastructure reliability has also contributed significantly to the disruption felt by passengers.

The Secretary of State met with the Managing Director of AWC and the NR West Coast South Route Director to challenge them on poor performance and demand immediate action to deliver urgent improvements. Officials continue to meet regularly with AWC and NR as part of a relentless focus on improving rail performance, bringing together track and train, and holding both sides accountable.

Select Committee Inquiry
18 Nov 2024
Promoting Wales for inward investment
Welsh Affairs Committee (Select)

Submit Evidence (by 13 Jan 2025)


Inward investment, a term often used interchangeably with Foreign Direct Investment (FDI), refers to cross-border investment from one country to another and which aims to establish a lasting interest and effective voice in an enterprise. In FDI statistics, an effective voice means owning 10% or more of the equity share capital in an enterprise.

The UK ranks among the most successful countries in Europe for attracting Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) projects and the UK Government has signalled its intention to strengthen the UK’s offer for businesses and investors. However, Wales has struggled to attract the same level of inward investment as other nations and regions in the UK - in 2023 to 2024, it attracted roughly 3.5% of the UK's total FDI projects, less than Scotland (8.35%) and the North East of England (4.48%). 

This inquiry will look at how ‘Brand Wales’ is promoted internationally to market Wales as a competitive destination for inward investment, and what lessons can be learnt from success stories in the creative industries and sports sectors.

  • How can Wales build on the success of its creative industries and sports sectors to attract inward investment?
  • How effectively is the ‘Welsh brand’ articulated and marketed to international audiences?
  • What barriers exist to promote Wales internationally as a destination for inward investment?
  • How well supported are Welsh businesses to attract inward investment?
  • How can inward investment be leveraged so that it delivers and supports sustainable, local benefit and prosperity?
  • Are there international examples of effective investment promotion campaigns that can inform Wales’s approach to attracting inward investment?

The environmental and economic legacy of Wales' industrial past
Welsh Affairs Committee (Select)

Submit Evidence (by 2 Feb 2025)


Wales has a proud industrial heritage based on activities such as coal mining, slate quarrying, copper smelting, steelmaking and manufacturing among others.

Today, most of the heavy industries that powered the Welsh economy during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries have gone. This inquiry will examine their environmental legacy, the economic impact of their decline, and what it means for Wales as it transitions to the green and digital economies.
