Part of 1. Questions to the Minister for Economy – in the Senedd at 2:07 pm on 1 December 2021.
The Counsel General and I have had a relatively recent discussion on the importance of the legal sector’s contribution to the economy. In terms of GVA, using a wider definition to include some accountancy services, the legal sector contributed £926 million to the Welsh economy in 2019. It is also, of course, of major social importance. And I should note that I'm a lawyer in recovery and I do happen to be married to a real lawyer with an actual practising certificate, so I have some personal interest in this too.
