Part of 2. Questions to the Minister for Housing and Local Government – in the Senedd at 2:32 pm on 3 February 2021.
Good afternoon, Minister. Monmouthshire County Council hold regular business forums, which obviously is a fantastic way of helping provide the most up-to-date information, a place to share concerns and ideas. I attended the last one, and the biggest concern that came from that, from businesses, was that there are still many businesses falling through the gaps in terms of being able to access grants and funding. Do you agree with me it's about time that local authorities were given a pot of money to distribute entirely at their own discretion to these sorts of businesses, which trusts their local knowledge of those businesses and knowing what's best? Thank you very much.
