Commenting, following his exchange with Labour’s Cabinet Secretary for Economy, Jeremy Miles in the Senedd today, Welsh Conservative Shadow Economy Minister, Samuel Kurtz MS said:
“A strong economy delivers strong public services. We have the highest economic inactivity, the smallest pay packets and the lowest business survival rate in the UK, so it’s little wonder that Wales has failing public services.
“Labour has no plan to grow Wales’ economy, to get people into work, to boost wages for Welsh workers or to support Welsh businesses, yet Keir Starmer calls this his “blueprint” for government.
“The Welsh Conservatives have a plan; to reverse Labour and Plaid’s slashing of business rates relief, to reform the tax on growth and to finally enact jobs targets for the people of Wales.”
