Investment paused and cancelled by Brexit, says Skates

Business investment in Wales is being 'paused and cancelled' due to Brexit uncertainty, a Welsh minister has said. Ken Skates said an unnamed manufacturer has put on hold investment in north-east Wales 'because of Brexit'. The minister said the investment, which would create 250 jobs, 'will be lost' in the event of a no-deal Brexit. He said ministers could possibly spend money on school and road building projects 'to stimulate economic growth' if the UK leaves the EU without a deal.
