Part of 1. Questions to the First Minister – in the Senedd at 1:42 pm on 16 July 2019.
Diolch, Llywydd. First Minister, on 6 December 2017, you made a written statement on project bank accounts, designed to prevent smaller subcontractors losing money when larger firms go bust. You said,
'From 1 January 2018, project bank accounts will be used, unless there is a compelling reason not to do so, on all conventionally-funded construction and infrastructure contracts...fully or part-funded by the Welsh Government with a value of £2m or more'.
Since 1 January 2018, there have been 32 construction projects over £2 million fully or part funded by the Welsh Government. How many of those have used project bank accounts as you personally promised?
