answer text <p>I wrote to the First Minister last week to seek urgent clarification on the additional travel restrictions placed by the Welsh Government on people travelling to Wales from England, Scotland and Northern Ireland. This included the evidence on which the restrictions are based and how the measures will be enforced.</p><p> </p><p>I have not yet received a detailed response from the First Minister to the questions I have asked. There is a lack of clarity on many aspects of the new restrictions. I remain concerned about how the Welsh Government intends to enforce its new regulations and the impacts of any enforcement measures on the resources of Welsh police forces.</p> more like this

answer text <p>The rural and hospitality sectors form the backbone of the Welsh economy. The Eat Out to Help out Scheme helped protect two million Welsh jobs. This - alongside cutting VAT, months of furlough for staff, and incentives to keep workers in jobs - demonstrates the benefits to Wales of being part of the Union.</p> more like this

answer text <p>I am in regular contact with Welsh Ministers, including the First Minister of Wales to discuss the UK-wide response to Coronavirus. In the last two weeks this has included a COBR meeting, the Winter Summit and a virtual meeting with the First Minister.</p><p> </p><p>We will continue to work closely with all the devolved administrations to ensure the most effective measures are in place in all parts of the UK.

answer text <p>This Government has issued £1.116 billion through the Bounce Back Loan Scheme, £303 million through the Coronavirus Business Interruption Loan Scheme and £490 million through the Self-Employed Income Support Scheme to support businesses in Wales. In August in Newport West, 11,500 employments were furloughed with a take up rate of 27 per cent.</p><p> </p><p>I have been having discussions across and at all levels of Government to support businesses in Wales and mitigate the impact of the covid-19 pandemic. This includes not only discussions with the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, but also businesses within Newport West such as the Compound Semi-Conductor Cluster, Airbus and the Celtic Manor, to drive forward our commitments to secure jobs, stimulate growth and provide opportunities to level-up in Wales – all of which will support economic recovery.</p> more like this

answer text <p>I have frequent discussions with the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions on UK-wide schemes such as the Plan for Jobs which will make up to £30 billion available to protect and create jobs UK-wide. This Government has introduced significant and targeted support to people across the UK, including in Wales, to mitigate the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic.
