Written Question
Levelling Up Fund: Wales
Wednesday 6th July 2022

Asked by: Stephen Crabb (Conservative - Preseli Pembrokeshire)

Question to the Wales Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales, what discussions he has had with Cabinet colleagues on the implementation of the Levelling Up Fund in Wales.

Answered by David T C Davies - Secretary of State for Wales

I have regular discussions with colleagues across Government to ensure the Levelling Up Fund benefits communities across Wales.

Here at the Wales Office, my colleagues and I have been delighted that Wales has received 7% of the total UK funding for round one. This means that Wales will see an investment of £120 million on projects spread across the length and breadth of Wales.


Written Question
Economic Situation: Wales
Wednesday 18th November 2020

Asked by: Stephen Crabb (Conservative - Preseli Pembrokeshire)

Question to the Wales Office:

What recent assessment he has made of the prospects for the Welsh economy.

Answered by David T C Davies - Secretary of State for Wales

In line with many other economies around the world, the coronavirus is having a negative impact on the Welsh economy. However, the UK Government is committed to creating opportunities for investment and growth to ensure our recovery is as swift as possible. Our City and Growth deals, with around £800 million worth of investment, as well as our Freeports initiative will help ensure we emerge from this pandemic with a strong and vibrant economy.


Written Question
Procurement: Wales
Wednesday 30th September 2020

Asked by: Stephen Crabb (Conservative - Preseli Pembrokeshire)

Question to the Wales Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales, what assessment he has made of the legislative competence of Welsh Government to issue procurement advice notes regarding foreign countries.

Answered by Simon Hart - Parliamentary Secretary to the Treasury (Chief Whip)

Procurement undertaken by devolved Welsh authorities is a devolved matter and it is therefore the responsibility of the Welsh Government to provide procurement advice in respect of these authorities. In doing so it should ensure compliance with domestic law and should not erect barriers to trade by excluding some of the world’s largest companies from bidding for contracts with devolved bodies in Wales.

I have not discussed the implementation of the Procurement Advice Note on public bodies with Welsh Government.
