Part of 1. 1. Questions to the First Minister – in the Senedd at 1:30 pm on 21 March 2017.
First Minister, I continue to receive comments from constituents and businesses in west Wales complaining about business rates. Although your Government announced additional funding for high-street businesses, there is a great deal of confusion and many businesses don’t know who’s qualified to receive that assistance. So, can you confirm that the Government will be far clearer as to who qualifies? Also, can you tell us why the Government wanted to target high-street businesses without including other businesses?
