I believe you’re talking about the Lloyds Bank figures. We don’t know what methodology they used and we don’t know exactly what the nature of the data set is. Having said that, the number of business births has increased from 8,225 in 2011 to 11,525 in 2015. But of course, we will consider the figures that have been issued by Lloyds Bank to see whether there’s any kind of problem here that we need to address in one part of Wales.
