The Prime Minister
I can certainly assure my hon. Friend that this will be great for jobs across the United Kingdom, but as I said, there is an 18-month scoping programme to work out exactly how the labour is going to be divvied up.
Ruth Jones (Newport West) (Lab)
I have listened very carefully to the Prime Minister’s statement. He mentioned the new well-paid jobs, which we all welcome, and all countries of the UK, but he did not mention Wales. Will he tell me why Wales has been left out of this jobs fest?
The Prime Minister
All parts of the United Kingdom, including the great Principality of Wales, will—I have no doubt—benefit from this agreement.
