I regret that you are unable to offer some more comfort than that, because, certainly the businesses I have spoken to, when they’ve looked at the £10 million transitional money that is available, do not believe that that will go far enough to help them to stay in business. And I don’t underestimate the offer that the Welsh Government has made, but there are some very, very genuine concerns out there that, with the new regime that is in place on the valuation, from April 2017, businesses just will not be able to continue. And so I do think it’s regrettable you haven’t been able to offer some comfort, with the budget round continuing at the moment, and that you cannot look at the budget lines and maybe try and find additional resources to help some of these businesses in the transition.

But you also touched on the valuation office, and the appeal structure, which is well understood by many of these businesses. I’ve been told that many businesses have a horrendous time accessing the valuation office and, in particular, just being able to get the process under way so they can challenge some of these valuations. Will you work with the valuation office, to make sure that, when businesses do contact them, they do get a timely response? Because I do fear for the financial well-being of many of these small businesses that have approached me, and many other Members from across the parties in this Chamber, and that they will not be with us after 1 April unless they get some assistance.
