Commenting Steve said:
“I recently met with the new Business Minister Andrew Griffiths to push for progress on the Cornwall Business Investment fund.”
“Progress with this fund had stalled due to technicalities with the EU Commission and I pushed the minister hard on the need for these issues to be overcome in order that this fund can be set up to provide the ongoing support we need for the Cornish economy.”
“I was pleased that the minister listened and took on board the points I made and I am hopefully that progress may now be made soon.”
