After landscaping invoices were seen to have been paid by Heads of the Valleys Development Company what questions did the Welsh Government ask of the company in this regard and what answers were given?

Welsh Government, together with the company's bankers, implemented robust procedures to ensure public funds were only applied to the payment of authorised suppliers.
