Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Jo Stevens and John Cooper

Wednesday 12th March 2025 Commons Chamber

[Jo Stevens]

Like her, I want people in Wales to benefit from those 5,300 new jobs, particularly young people, so that they do not have to leave Wales, where they have grown up, to earn or learn. I want that £1.4 billion boost to the economy. We are not prepared to put all that at risk of market fragmentation, undermining or potentially destroying developer confidence in FLOW, and have to watch that investment go elsewhere in the world.

[John Cooper (Dumfries and Galloway) (Con)]

3. What estimate she has made with Cabinet colleagues of the number of farms affected by changes to agricultural property relief and business property relief in Wales.
