Question
What discussions is the Minister for Economy having with the hospitality sector about the impacts of the business rate relief cut from 75 per cent to 40 per cent?
Answer
Answered by Deputy Minister for Arts, Sport and Tourism
Within the Economy portfolio, Ministerial discussions with the tourism and hospitality sector take place through the Visitor Economy Forum meetings, which I attend and chair. We discuss important matters, such as business rate relief, at those meetings and I hear directly from stakeholders. My officials also engage with the sector via regional forums, in north, mid, south-west and south-east Wales.
