The Minister pointed out that infrastructure investment is devolved to Scotland and therefore the money for England and Wales would all be spent in England. The assumption is that Wales will benefit, which it does not. Does he accept that there is a compelling case for infrastructure investment or enhancement to be devolved completely to Wales so that we get our 5% share over time, in the same way as Scotland has had its 8% share over time? We have the infrastructure and Transport for Wales to deliver those projects. Is he working with Transport for Wales to ensure that that happens?
