Part of 1. 1. Questions to the Cabinet Secretary for Finance and Local Government – in the Senedd at 2:01 pm on 15 February 2017.
Thank you, Cabinet Secretary. Yesterday, in First Minister’s questions—and I appreciate that you were away at a finance meeting yesterday, Cabinet Secretary, but hopefully your officials have made you aware—the First Minister did indicate that you would be bringing forward a statement at the end of this week, outlining how the additional £10 million that was announced in December was going to be distributed to businesses affected by the revaluation. Could I encourage you maybe to use this opportunity—the third question in finance questions—to inform Plenary of how you propose to do that, rather than wait until the end of the week, when Members will not have an opportunity to raise questions that they might think appropriate, given their constituents’ interest in this particular aspect?
