Local Assembly Member Paul Davies has questioned the First Minister over the eligibility of businesses that will receive Welsh Government support, following the recent rate revaluation. Mr Davies called on the Welsh Government to provide much-needed clarity over the terms and conditions of the Welsh Government’s support package, so that businesses across Wales can understand what they are entitled to.
Mr Davies said, “This was an important opportunity to question the First Minister directly on the Welsh Government’s support for businesses affected by the latest rate revaluations. Businesses in Pembrokeshire are still in limbo and it’s crucial that the Welsh Government spell out exactly who is entitled to this support. The fact that there are still questions over the eligibility criteria for the scheme, which is due to come in to force within weeks, is deeply unhelpful. Local businesses in Pembrokeshire and right across Wales, need answers and I’ll continue to raise this matter with Welsh Government Ministers until that clarity is provided once and for all.”
