PRIME Minister David Cameron said the people of Newport were "incredibly reasonable" about travel disruption when addressing MPs on the Nato summit in the House of Commons.

Following the Prime Minister's statement on Monday (sept 8), Newport MP Paul Flynn thanked Mr Cameron for the chance he gave to Newport to display its "magnificent facilities".

He added: "I also thank him for the chance he gave himself and his ministers to see the high quality of education in Newport, including a lecture the Secretary of State had from a young 10-year-old in St Woolos on the wonderful Chartist history of Newport.

"May I emphasise the fact that in November there will be a world conference of almost equal importance to get business opportunities to Newport, Wales and the United Kingdom. What is the Prime Minister going to do to ensure that that will be an equal success?"

Mr Cameron replied: "I think Newport really did put a great face forward in how it responded, because there are pressures with a Nato summit, there are traffic problems and disruption, but I thought people were incredibly reasonable about that and very welcoming, including the local media, to everyone who came.

"Securing the legacy is about supporting the investment conference and making sure we maintain a pro-business environment in south Wales."
