Part of 1. Questions to the First Minister – in the Senedd at 2:01 pm on 7 December 2021.
I entirely agree with the final proposition that Mr Price made; people should not put themselves in that position. I very well remember the views of the former First Minister on the WDA and its history and a number of its employees. It is the regular position of the Welsh Government to publish remit letters to organisations that we sponsor, but the Development Bank of Wales does deal in commercially sensitive areas where it isn't always possible to put into the public domain the same level of information that is possible for bodies that don't deal in those same areas. I'm reluctant, Llywydd, to give general commitments on the back of suggestions that I'm not completely certain of the basis of them, or indeed what is being alleged. I will read very carefully the Record of what's been said this afternoon and, of course, if I think that any action does need to be taken by the Welsh Government, then that action will follow.FootnoteLink
