Is there a timeframe for the publication of the action plan? Will the Minister of State give a commitment that he or another Minister or Minister of State will be accountable for the delivery of those plans.? There is no sense in dividing them across three Departments, because they will not be delivered; they will fall between the cracks.

This brings me back to a common theme of mine. The enterprise agenda is so dependent on skills that we need far greater integration between Departments. Can we have a commitment that someone will be responsible for the delivery of the 30 actions? The export side of the economy is strong and we support investment in it but the domestic economy also needs attention. There are some construction companies that will never leave their own county, never mind go abroad. They also deserve attention.
