Part of 1. 1. Questions to the First Minister – in the Senedd at 2:11 pm on 8 November 2016.
They clearly are, because, as I say, 70 per cent are having a tax cut as a result of a scheme that has been temporary, but renewed every year for some years. There is no permanence to the current scheme. We are introducing a permanent scheme next year in order to make sure that we have a scheme that is durable, because businesses cannot exist on a system where the rates relief scheme is simply renewed every year, without them knowing whether it will be or not. We’ll continue to make sure that the vast majority of Welsh businesses get the relief that they need.
