Part of the debate – in the Senedd at 2:24 pm on 6 June 2017.
We have a very large number of small and medium-sized companies in Wales but we have a distinct shortage of indigenous large companies. I would like to ask for a Government statement on proposals to support the growth of medium-sized businesses, which we seem to have quite a lot of, into large businesses, especially in industries such as construction, and also what the Government can do in letting contracts to let them in such a way that they will benefit current medium-sized companies, which are indigenous to Wales, as opposed to very large companies, which tend, certainly in construction, to be based over the border.
