Commons ChamberI welcome the steps set out by my right hon. Friend to unleash the potential of our whole country. Can he reassure my Ynys M么n constituents that they will benefit from the 440,000 net zero jobs being created by 2030 and the 拢90 billion of private investment? Will he accept my invitation to visit Wylfa Newydd and see at first hand why the Prime Minister is such a fervent supporter?
I thank my hon. Friend, who is a tireless advocate for Ynys M么n, particularly on the economy and jobs. Of course, Ynys M么n, the whole of Wales and north Wales will benefit from the new green jobs that this net zero strategy will help to foster. The new money announced today for the future nuclear enabling fund is for optionality for the future, so that we can make future decisions based on good information on nuclear. Obviously, that includes potential for sites such as Wylfa.
