Answered by Stephen Kinnock - Secretary of State for Wales
Last week, on his visit to Wales, my Rt. Hon. Friend the Prime Minister reaffirmed this Government’s commitment to the £14bn plan for Welsh rail. It will unlock 12,000 jobs and connect the people of Wales to tens of thousands more jobs we are creating across the country.

Question to the Wales Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for Wales, what steps she is taking with Cabinet colleagues to help create new jobs in Wales.
Answered by Jo Stevens
In just twelve months, this Labour government has supported over £3.4 billion in private investment into Wales, creating and sustaining over 8000 jobs.
Wales now punches above its weight, landing nearly 5% of all UK inward investment projects, up from 3.4% before the election.
Our Industrial Strategy will create tens of thousands of jobs in Wales, backed by our trade deals, Freeports, Investment Zones, and Defence Growth Deal.
This is the difference two Labour governments working together makes for Wales.
