The next vote, therefore, is on the motion as amended.

3. Encourages communities to shop local to support small businesses to grow and thrive, creating jobs for local people.

4. Calls on the Welsh Government to continue to support small businesses through changes in procurement policy across the public sector that is based on a local-first principle, increasing Welsh-based public sector procurement from the current level of 52 per cent, helping them to recover from the COVID-19 pandemic
