Not sure what you are on about with zero %, but the Senedd certainly influenced 5% of the UK supermarket market by banning a range of what they say are non essential goods throughout supermarkets in Wales. And it turns out they have no authority to do this for economic reasons ie they say to be fair to/ to ensure a level field/ to level things out for those non essential shops they instructed to close.
So now they say it is for public health reasons but offer no rational why they want to do this now when it wasn’t necessary in their first lockdown.
They met with supermarket representatives today who probably told them they were acting outside their remit and tonight I was pleased to hear the spokesperson for the Wales retail consortia say that the likely outcome will be to open all aisles to customers whilst discouraging them from seeking non essential goods.
Some face saving common sense at last
