The Welsh Liberal Democrat MP for Brecon and Radnorshire and Shadow Secretary of State for Wales, Roger Williams has criticised the Government for not acting quick enough to save rural Welsh businesses.
Intervening on a statement regarding support for the automotive trade and car dealerships Roger Williams said:
“It is difficult to overemphasise what a parlous financial state many car dealerships find themselves in. One in my constituency reports sales of new cars dropping from more than 30 a month to less than 10 a month. If those businesses fail, all other measures will count for nothing. I urge Mervyn Davies to get on and do his work as quickly as possible but also to investigate other ways to support those businesses, such as the relief of business rates. They have to be paid every month regardless of the level of business, which is causing the business great distress.”
