A free lunch?
Now this really did wet my appetite for more. From yesterday's Plenary Session, a point made by Alyn and Deeside Labour AM, Carl Sargeant, to the Business Minister:
Carl Sargeant: I will make that reference again in case the Minister did not quite hear me. I was referring to Assembly subsidies to public or private bodies, in particular because of a request from the Conservative Party for cheaper tickets or subsidies for tickets for major sporting events. I find it quite astounding that a party that believes in a free market should want the Government to set ticket prices for a private company.
Perhaps somebody could let me know to what he was referring.
