Question
Will the Cabinet Minister commit to matching the UK Government's announcement of additional business rates relief for pubs, clubs and live music venues in England with a similar discount for eligible Welsh businesses?
Answer
Answered by Cabinet Minister for Finance (Elin Jones)
I have noted the UK Government’s announcement on additional support for pubs, clubs and music venues in England. The implications for Wales will be considered once full details, including how this additional support will be funded, are available. Further information is expected as part of the UK Government’s Autumn Statement.
