Russell George MS – the Shadow Minister for Business and Economy – has called on the Welsh Government to allow retail businesses to re-open in line with England.
He made his call following the announcement by UK Government Secretary of State for Business Alok Sharma MP at today’s Downing Street briefing.
Mr George said:
“Look, we know businesses in Wales are suffering badly because of the lockdown, while also knowing that the lockdown has been necessary.
“However, Welsh businesses are being disadvantaged by the Labour-led government here.
“So, I'm calling on the First Minster to include in his next review that shops in Wales will be able to open up – while practising correct social distancing procedures – sooner rather than later, because if it is later, then there’ll come the point were for many, it may be too late.”
