Commenting on the Business Minister’s announcement on further detail regarding enterprise zones in Wales, Shadow Minister for Business Nick Ramsay AM, said:
“These developments are much better late than never and I wholeheartedly welcome much of the detail here; notably the introduction of two new enterprise zones in Gwynedd and Pembrokeshire.
“There are skill bases in these areas which need to be utilised and both will benefit from the creation of enterprise zones.
“There are bids from other areas that have be turned down however, and the minister now has a duty to clarify what can be done to make sure these parts of Wales do not fall behind.
“A clear timetable for further developments is welcome, but does not lessen the frustrations involved in the long wait for the introduction of these zones.
“It is now vitally important that this strategy is progressed as quickly as possible.”
