National Assembly for Wales

I was pleased to announce last week that places of worship are now able to open for communal worship and religious ceremonies. Collective worship and ceremonies can also be held outdoors where this is organised and supervised.

All victims and survivors of domestic abuse, including those close to them, can access tailored advice, guidance and support via our free 24/7 Live Fear Free helpline or website. Local authorities make arrangements to support a child taken into care.

Wales will receive £12.5 million in new revenue consequentials directly related to the UK Chancellor's summer economic statement and no additional capital funding. Any suggestion that Wales has received an extra £500 million is misleading as it includes funding already announced and measures we have already funded in Wales.

Our £1.7 billion business support package, which is equivalent to 2.6 per cent of our gross value added, complements other UK schemes and means that companies in Wales have access to the most generous offer of help anywhere in the UK. More than 60,000 businesses across Wales have also received grants from the business rates scheme, worth almost £730 million. Many of these will be in the hospitality industry.

Transport to the new Grange university hospital has been integral to the planning of that site from the very beginning. We want to make sure that patients, relatives and staff from the whole of the catchment area are able to find their way in a timely fashion.

I have allocated £15.4 million to local authorities to introduce measures to improve safety and conditions for sustainable and active travel modes and to achieve sustained changes in future travel behaviour. Newport County Council will receive £600,000 of this.
