Jenny Jones AM: On this substantive issue, I am very concerned that you are actually releasing too much industrial land because the vacancy rate on industrial land has actually halved in the past 15 years and is now lower than retail vacancies. I am concerned that you are talking about surplus land when, actually, it is not surplus because small businesses still need to be near centres of population and they still need to be near town centres.

While that is true for a number of programmes where either they are commercially viable or that they can expect continued Government support or, maybe, support through LEPs or whatever, there are clearly some programmes that have depended on a recoverable public subsidy, such as rolling out the home energy efficiency measures in the renew programme, supporting the low carbon zones, the trees in the parks programmes. Surely these are dead ducks now are they not?
