Dear Llyr,

Retention payments in construction contracts

Thank you for your letter on the 16 May, proposing a joint piece of work into retention payments in construction contracts.

I write to inform you that the Economy, Infrastructure and Skills Committee (EIS) recognises the importance of this topic, and would be happy to undertake a joint piece of work with the Finance Committee.

I have asked the Clerk of the EIS Committee, Gareth Price, to liaise with the Clerk of the Finance Committee in order to arrange a meeting to discuss the next steps.

Yours sincerely,

Russell George AM

Chair

Economy, Infrastructure and Skills Committee
