The Welsh Labour Government is not doing enough to attract major employers to Wales or provide the conditions for economic growth to keep them trading, Welsh Conservatives claimed yesterday.
Andrew RT Davies AM, Leader of the Welsh Conservatives in the National Assembly, said, “Concerns about the future of Peacocks and its employers highlights the lack of major employers based in Wales and the limited appeal to potential investors.
“We need major employers based in Wales, who can offer high-end jobs, graduate schemes and apprenticeship places to help maximise our economic potential.
“I fear that major employers and potential investors will be put off basing their operations in Wales because of a lack of economic action from the Welsh Labour Government.
“Over 12 years, successive Welsh Labour Governments have failed to attract corporate HQs to Wales and a series of overseas visits by the First Minister have failed to yield clear results.
“I am disappointed that the First Minister refuses to recognise the lack of appeal in our economy and the need for action to entice job creators to invest in Wales.
“The First Minister needs to end his government’s dithering and start taking the tough decisions to protect Welsh jobs.”
