Question
What representations is the Minister making to the UK Government regarding support for businesses in Wales in response to rising energy costs?
Answer
Answered by Minister for Economy
The main levers to help businesses through this energy crisis
- access to borrowing, taxation of windfall profits, regulation of the energy market
- lie squarely with the UK Government.
We continue to press the UK Government to support our businesses and know that Wales’s business representative bodies have been lobbying the UK Government too. We are holding regular discussions with our business stakeholders so that our calls to UK Government reflect the support that our businesses urgently need.
