Okay. Thank you very much.

That gives us a lot of other things to think about. Just before you go on, you mentioned that meeting that you had with the Exchequer after this was announced, then, talking about taxes, and it's something that we enjoy talking about in this committee, but…

And I'm assuming there will be a conversation then with the Llywydd on Standing Orders, and that procedural aspect of dealing with this aspect.

You'd just leave it as one motion, I suppose.

On that technical side of how it would work here, in the same way as we have a vote on WRIT—and correct me if I'm misinterpreting it—that sliver is now taken off that WRIT bit and added—. So, there will be a resolution in the Senedd to lay that part as well…

Not to disappoint you, Sam, and not to frighten the Cabinet Secretary either. But, certainly, I think it's a good question, and I'd be interested in the answer as well.
21 Ionawr 2026 , Finance Committee
Cyllideb Derfynol Llywodraeth Cymru ar gyfer 2026-27: Sesiwn dystiolaeth

Cyllideb Derfynol Llywodraeth Cymru ar gyfer 2026-27: Sesiwn dystiolaeth
From a management point of view.

Cyllideb Derfynol Llywodraeth Cymru ar gyfer 2026-27: Sesiwn dystiolaeth
Can I ask, just before I bring Rhianon back in, in your experience, and you've mentioned that overprogramming of capital, and you've got the method that you've used this year where you've left some in the budget, you've overprogrammed for the last couple, and…

Cyllideb Derfynol Llywodraeth Cymru ar gyfer 2026-27: Sesiwn dystiolaeth
Do you have a sense of how big that's likely to be this year?
21 Ionawr 2026 , Finance Committee
Cyllideb Derfynol Llywodraeth Cymru ar gyfer 2026-27: Sesiwn dystiolaeth

I think you highlighted there that decisions taken by some parts of Government do inevitably have a big impact on local government, as someone that delivers on the coalface and in different parts of the country and in so many different areas. Can you talk a…

Cyllideb Derfynol Llywodraeth Cymru ar gyfer 2026-27: Sesiwn dystiolaeth
