Will the Cabinet Secretary confirm the number of jobs that Cardiff Aviation was due to create as part of its Welsh Government grant to relocate to St Athan Aviation Park?
Answered by Cabinet Secretary for Economy and Infrastructure | Answered on 22/03/2017
Cardiff Aviation Limited did not relocate to St Athan as it was a start up company. It has been supported through the Enterprise Zone Business Rates Scheme. The company was awarded the maximum annual grant available under the terms of the scheme for 2014/15 and 2015/16. As you are aware, the provision of Business Rates Relief is not dependent on job creation.
