WALES Office minister and Vale MP Alun Cairns has addressed an ACCA Business Breakfast – emphasising the importance of the economic recovery felt across Wales.
Mr Cairns highlighted the importance of St David’s Day – marking it as a defining feature of our history and culture while also a symbol of our future.
He said the economy was at the heart of the coalition government and the long term economic plan was now starting to bear real fruit for Wales.
He thanked the private sector for being a crucial part of this by creating 100,000 jobs in Wales.
Mr Cairns said: “I believe that we have made great progress in Wales – our long term economic plan is showing real results.
We are seeing these jobs being created in new high tech sectors as our economy rebalances.
“And you have a government that is supporting your growth ambitions by de-regulating, cutting the burden of taxation and investing in the infrastructure you need to compete and grow.”
