Helen Mary Jones is absolutely right: there is a key role for local authorities to play. I spoke with the spokesperson for WLGA yesterday concerning economic development and discussions have proceeded very well at an official level as well, because local government will be crucial in administering the local lockdown funds to businesses.

I can assure the Member today that, unlike in England, a business does not have to close down to get that emergency support. The criterion is relatively simple: a business must be able to demonstrate that it's seen a reduction in turnover of at least 40 per cent compared to the period prior to which restrictions were introduced. I'm confident that this support will offer businesses those bridges through restriction periods.

Each of the payments will be made on the basis of three-week waves of restrictions—three weeks being the period at which we would hope to see numbers reduce sufficiently for restrictions to be eased. We've modelled against what is possible this autumn and winter, and we are confident that we'll be able to offer two waves of support to businesses across Wales where there are restrictions.
