The Shadow Minister for Economy, Russell George MS, has demanded urgent clarification from the Welsh Labour-led Government for businesses impacted by the Wales-wide lockdown.
Mr George has written a letter to the Economy Minister, Ken Skates, calling on him to swiftly publish a guidance list for businesses impacted by the lockdown.
He said:
It goes without saying that the Welsh Labour-led Government’s Wales-wide lockdown will hard-hit businesses and impact countless jobs across our country.
“It is deeply concerning that, given we are days away from the lockdown, we are still awaiting the publication of a full list of the types of businesses required to close, as well as guidance on business closures.
“At a time of considerable uncertainty, it is totally unacceptable – whether intentionally or not – to create even more concern and anxiety, which is, sadly, what this Government is succeeding at.
“The people and businesses of Wales deserve better than being left in the dark. For the sake of people’s jobs and livelihoods, I urge the Welsh Labour-led Government to heed our calls and publish a list, without delay.
