Why the Welsh government gave £1m of taxpayers' cash to Qatar Airways.
Qatar Airways will get £1m (BUNG) from the Welsh Government to market Wales as a destination around the globe.
It had initially refused to reveal the cost, claiming it would (show up their incompetence ) compromise the country’s economic interests.
The airline will also contribute £1m to the two-year partnership, which has an option to extend for a further two years for another £1m each. (Multiplying their initial mistake )
First Minister Carwyn Jones previously described the deal as a “huge boost” for ................? Wales.
The Welsh Government had originally said the deal’s significance could not be “underestimated”, ( ? ? ? ) and the value was commercially sensitive.( An expensive mistake)
Today, Shadow Economy and Transport spokesperson, Russel George AM said: “Today’s revelation that £1m of taxpayers’ cash was used to support the deal between Cardiff Airport and Qatar Airways raises serious questions for the Welsh Government.
“It is not good enough to hide behind “commercial sensitivity” to keep these details quiet.”
