Thank you, Deputy Presiding Officer, and I move the motion tabled in the name of my colleague the Member for Clwyd West, and welcome the opportunity to bring forward this debate this evening. Businesses in Wales are fundamental to our economic prosperity. They are important drivers for growth, creating jobs, wealth, and they underpin our communities, with many providing important services to local people. Put simply: their success is Wales’s success. But—and we’ve heard this many times in the Chamber and beyond—many businesses have experienced some very difficult times over the past few years. From the pandemic to the current energy crisis and inflationary pressures, businesses have been subject to a range of challenges that have held back their potential.
