Question to the Wales Office:
What progress his Department has made on signing new Growth Deals in Wales.
Answered by David T C Davies - Secretary of State for Wales
It gives me great pleasure to announce that we signed a Final Deal Agreement for the North Wales Growth Deal on 17 December 2020.
We also successfully agreed Heads of Terms for a Mid Wales Growth Deal on 22 December with a view to negotiating a Final Deal Agreement at pace.
When this is signed, it will mean that the whole of Wales will be covered by £790m of UK Government City and Growth Deal funding.

Question to the Wales Office:
At what level discussions have taken place between the Government and the Welsh Government on tackling the covid-19 outbreak.
Answered by David T C Davies - Secretary of State for Wales
There are regular and productive discussions between the UK Government and Welsh Government at both Ministerial and official level on all aspects of our response to covid-19 to maintain our joined-up response.
Only last week I was pleased to join the Healthcare Ministerial Implementation Group with the Welsh Government Minister for Health and Social Services.
