Debate on the Culture, Communications, Welsh Language, Sport, and International Relations Committee Report—'Increasing costs: Impact on culture and sport'

…and the risk to the health of the nation. Now, ideally, a UK Government funding package would drive Barnett consequentials that the Welsh Government could use to fund a package for the cost-of-living crisis for sport and culture. Certainly, as a committee, we would like to see something like that…

Questions to the Minister for Social Justice

…so they have to raise the funding from their own core resources. As the Member will be aware from the Chancellor's autumn statement on 17 November, it represented a significant real-terms cut to the Welsh Government budget over the next two years, which has been compounded by external forces, such…

Motion under Standing Order 17.42 (vi) and (ix) to resolve to exclude the public from items 4 and 7 of today's meeting

…It is just a nonsense. So, quite clearly, that doesn't work. We have constant quarrels about consequentials and all the rest of it, if you're talking about just a narrow infrastructure programme, but then, on the net-zero piece overall, then, obviously, we do need contributions from the UK…

…and Wales working, and significant infrastructure from the UK Government, where we at least have consequentials? I'm interested in what discussions you're having with the UK Government, because whilst we're focusing on this budget, realistically, are you going to be able to deal with these issues on…

Nor in the consequentials for Wales from any of the other projects either. That's worth mentioning.

The Landfill Disposals Tax (Tax Rates) (Wales) (Amendment) Regulations 2022

…for landfill disposals tax will increase in line with retail price index inflation, as forecast by the Office for Budget Responsibility in autumn 2021. This approach ensures that the rate remains consistent with the UK Government landfill tax for the next financial year, providing the stability that…

Group 8: Social partnership reporting arrangements (Amendments 56, 57, 58, 59)

Thank you, Chair. Amendment 56 and its consequentials removes the requirement for public bodies to produce a social partnership report each financial year and replace it with a requirement to do so as and when directed by the SPC. In my view, this would weaken the social partnership duty. The system…

…sure that we could provide funding for local government and for health, which was over and above the consequential funding that we received in respect of similar things from London. So, I think that that’s been well received, but it doesn’t negate those difficult choices that they will have to make…

…might have meant for the health MEG for instance. Because it's difficult when you're putting additional consequentials in, but you're taking something out or stopping something. It's difficult to understand the picture of that. So, it might be helpful if we could understand that at some point.

Scrutiny of the Welsh Government Draft Budget 2023-24: Evidence session 8

Thank you. The fiscal framework does appear, to me at least, extremely unfair. There are annual limits on drawdown from the Wales reserve, there's a cap on borrowing. Peter had neither of those when he was leader of Monmouthshire County Council. So, you're under more constraints than the 22 major…
