Part of 1. 1. Questions to the First Minister – in the Senedd at 1:57 pm on 18 July 2017.
Many people feel that the Circuit of Wales was a massive missed opportunity for the Ebbw Vale enterprise zone. Last week, referring to a pre-arranged meeting with the company, you said that
‘the company accepted the issue with regard to the issue of being on balance sheet and the risks that that posed to us—they did not argue with it.’
The chief executive of the company, Martin Whitaker, said that,
‘Clearly that statement is incorrect.’
‘We made it clear that we did not agree with this assessment.’
First Minister, which of you is lying?
