WALES’s Labour government will pursue a progressive economic policy that focuses on better jobs, narrowing the skills divide and tackling poverty, its Economy Minister is due to say today.

Vaughan Gething will declare his commitment to working with unions and business to ensure post-coronavirus investment is linked to fairness in work, decarbonisation and skills.

At a hybrid economic summit at Transport for Wales’s new headquarters in Pontypridd, he is set to say that better regional economic development and more wide-ranging support for workers will be central to his “team Wales” approach.
