Proceeding contribution from Owen Smith (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 1 December 2010. It occurred during Grand Committee proceedings (HC) on Comprehensive Spending Review.


Comprehensive Spending Review

It is absolutely accurate, of course, to say that economic development is devolved. However, the money to develop deep sea ports for wind turbine construction comes from the Department of Energy and Climate Change, which is not devolved. The Welsh ports are best placed to benefit, given the Lundy and the Irish sea developments, so they should have received a proportion of that money—we do not understand why they did not. Will the Secretary of State enlighten us?
