Question to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs:

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what discussions she has had with Cabinet colleagues on integrating nature risks into broader security and risk planning.

Answered by Mary Creagh - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs)

Nature risks are recognised in the Government’s National Security Strategy 2025: Security for the British People in a Dangerous World. Its implementation will ensure these risks inform security and risk planning across Government.

Together with my Cabinet colleagues the Deputy Prime Minister David Lammy, and Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero Ed Miliband, I was pleased to attend the recent Countdown to COP30: mobilising action for climate and nature event hosted by the Natural History Museum. My ministerial team and I look forward to continuing cross- government discussions as we prepare for the 30th United Nations climate change conference in Bélem, Brazil.

<p>I'm grateful for the question, and I think there's no doubt at all about the Welsh Government's commitment to new nuclear at Wylfa. We've been making this case for many years, and I've spoken directly to Ed Miliband about the Welsh Government's support for that. We do hope that there will be a positive announcement from the UK Government on that and will continue to make that very positive case for it. I could have gone on ad infinitum in my list of things that the Welsh Government is delivering for north Wales, but the things I focused on there were things that are in active delivery at the moment—for example, free ports, and the work that we're currently delivering today in terms of advanced manufacturing and so on.</p>
<p>I will say as well that north Wales—and other parts of Wales, actually—have a real potential for contributing to the supply chain. I visited Boccard recently and saw the good work that they're doing in terms of what they're providing for Sizewell. So, that was a really good opportunity. I know other colleagues have visited to talk about their apprenticeship programme as well. So, it's not just about the single project; actually it's about the supply chain, the skills—all of the additional value that we want to be ready for here in Wales.</p>

<p>Of course, the prospectus plays a really important part. One of those action points within the ports prospectus was specifically around jobs, and there were some very eye-catching figures in relation to jobs creation: 29,000 potential roles in Wales in that sector. Of course, just a month ago, we had Ed Miliband and Jo Stevens saying that Wales would benefit from 15,000&nbsp;clean-energy jobs.</p>
<p>Promises of new jobs are not something new here in Wales. I've learnt over the years to take them with quite a very large pinch of salt. We've already seen job projections in other Government announcements quietly revised down to the tune of thousands. Now, in the prospectus, the Cabinet Secretary says,</p>
<p>'We are ready, our ports are prepared, and the opportunity is now.'</p>
<p>Having had conversations with some key stakeholders in this sector, however, there doesn't seem to be that readiness from their perspective when it comes to the Government, particularly pointing to financial commitment in terms of investment in our ports.</p>
<p>Now, risk appetites are a real variable here, but how does Welsh Government intend to resolve that tension? Because without public investment to bridge that gap, both sides will wait for the other to make a move.</p>
<p>Some options have been highlighted: a recoverable grant from the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero being one, and a bridging loan provided by the national wealth fund being the other. So, could I ask the Cabinet Secretary where she and her officials are in securing agreement from one or both of these investment vehicles to ensure that port development progresses here in Wales? We can't afford to tread any more water on this.</p>
