We look forward to hearing those details in due course, if not today. But the First Minister did say to the Member for Cynon Valley earlier that she's right to say the Welsh Government offered support to business. He didn't repeat her perhaps more questionable claims that it offered more support than anywhere else in the UK, or that more businesses in Wales received support than elsewhere. He said that he didn't know what the Barnett consequential was. The number we have is £26 million over the coming two years. Can he tell us whether Welsh business will be getting that type of support, as will be available to their competitors in England?
