Buying Welsh vs Free Trade: Exploring the tension

Fellow blogger Matt Wardman's latest 'Welsh' offering is in response to Prof Dylan Evans-Jones' piece on Welsh procurement.

Prof. Dylan-Jones Evans is arguing that there should be a preferential option for local suppliers over to foreign suppliers. Examples Dylan quotes include foreign organisations from as close as Sheffield or Cornwall.

You can read Matt Wardman's article HERE, which is a balanced piece and includes a link to Dylan's article.

Matt is hoping to blog-interview an AM from each party to tease out the more serious points about a preference for Local Production vs EU Procurement Rules early next week. Let’s see if they will talk to him.
