Speaking ahead of the publication of the Welsh Labour Government’s Programme for Government report, William Graham AM, Shadow Minister for Business, said:
“After 15 years of successive Welsh Labour governments, the only thing Carwyn Jones has to chirp about is an apprenticeship scheme that has a drop-out rate of 35%.
“While Jobs Growth Wales has created opportunities for some young people, it is disappointing that Labour Ministers have failed to support job creation and entrepreneurship more generally by cutting business rates and red tape which are barriers to business start-ups.
“We need to start promoting entrepreneurship as a rewarding career in schools and empower people to make that a reality, making their own money, creating jobs and making Wales a more prosperous nation.
“After 15 years of Labour dumbing down education standards, centralising health services, trapping Wales at the bottom of the UK prosperity league table amid many broken promises, we’ll be forgiven for not having high expectations of Labour’s latest delivery update.”
