QNR – in the Senedd on 20 November 2019.
The Welsh Government’s policies, including high-quality apprenticeships, the UK’s highest starting threshold for land transaction tax, and council tax discounts and reliefs, support lower income earners, many of whom will be young people starting careers. We also provide the fairest, most progressive and sustainable student financial support in the UK.
We are investing in all parts of Wales to support our public services, businesses and communities. Investments in Carmarthen West and South Pembrokeshire include £60 million EU funding in the marine energy industry and £45 million for improvements to the A40.
The Welsh Government has provided a specific grant scheme for the past three years that supports the majority of hydropower projects in Wales with their non-domestic rates bills. We are considering the position for 2020-21 as part of the budget planning process.
