Cyllideb Ddrafft Llywodraeth Cymru - Gweinidog yr Economi
Thank you. That ties in, really, with the figures from Cardiff Business School's research on the economic impact of Business Wales, where they found that every £1 invested in the core service can be linked to around £10 of net gross value added uplift per…

Cyllideb Ddrafft Llywodraeth Cymru - Gweinidog yr Economi
Thank you. You mentioned Business Wales there. Certainly, with a recession, the role of Business Wales is probably needed now more than ever. Your paper to us notes that, as a result of the end of the structural funds, Business Wales will have no ability to…

And would they share best practice with each other about how the challenges around funding could be overcome to ensure that the commitments are still enforced?

Cyllideb Ddrafft Llywodraeth Cymru - Y Gweinidog Materion Gwledig a Gogledd Cymru, a’r Trefnydd
In terms of the role played by local authorities with enforcement, do they provide feedback to you as to whether the resources that they've been allocated are sufficient, or if they feel that there's any need for any changes there?

Thank you. And were the Wales animal health and welfare framework group consulted? Did they feed into the decisions on the budget allocations to ensure implementation of the animal welfare plan?

Cyllideb Ddrafft Llywodraeth Cymru - Y Gweinidog Materion Gwledig a Gogledd Cymru, a’r Trefnydd

Thank you. And one final question from me then. You talked about those three Fs there at the start, Minister, so, if you take fuel out of the equation, because maybe that's far too difficult to try and control, but I know that several EU countries have…

Cyllideb Ddrafft Llywodraeth Cymru - Y Gweinidog Materion Gwledig a Gogledd Cymru, a’r Trefnydd
We're obviously living through times where costs of raw materials and inputs are changing really rapidly, and that will be affecting our farmers in Wales. So, given those changes in costs and the other challenges of the cost-of-living crisis, how is the Welsh…

Fy nghwestiwn cyntaf, Gweinidog: mae symud at fodel arweinydd a chabinet wedi arwain at wneud penderfyniadau mwy strategol, fodd bynnag, gall hefyd leoli'r penderfyniadau hynny o fewn grŵp llai. Felly, pa asesiad mae Llywodraeth Cymru wedi'i wneud o'r haen…

Thank you. And the other area I wanted to explore with you is post-employment lobbying, this issue of the revolving door between politicians, or people who work in politicians' offices, and the lobbying industry. It's something that has come up in our…
