Scrutiny of Welsh Government Draft Budget 2022-23: Culture, Communications and Sport
So, our budget allocations this term have been for three years. So, the UK Government has now moved towards multi-year settlements for devolved nations. So, we had a three-year budget settlement from the UK Government and we were able to pass that on to our…

So, what I'm saying, Delyth, is that in those remit letters you will see that they set out very clearly what our expectations are, and we will then expect the bodies to come back to us with their plans to meet those expectations.

Yes, indeed. Sorry, Delyth, I thought you'd had them, but there's absolutely no problem with you having those. Jason, if we can organise that.

Thank you, Sam, for that. I think what you see is the budget doesn't actually have specific amounts of money allocated for race equality, so there are amounts of money that form the budget so that we have an amount allocated that will enable our organisations…

So, we've introduced and increased the emergency grant, as you already know, from £500 to £1,000. That was done as part of the business support that was announced by the economy Minister. Over and above that, part of the future development of support for…

No, I'm conscious of how quickly the time goes, Delyth, so I will try and keep it brief. But, yes, the £3 million that we allocated in the spectator sports fund, that was an initial estimate of what was required. Now, obviously, what we knew is, in making…

It was on the overall point. But I think, generally, what we've seen in terms of attendances—and I honestly don't think this is down to the COVID pass, I think this is, as the Minister was saying, down to behaviours and concerns—is the difference between…

I think, to add to that, really, is to say that both—the economy Minister has been very coy about it—the economy Minister and the First Minister have always said that future support for all of our sectors, whether it's in the business sector generally or in…

Yes, and if I can say, Chair, I think the budget that we set for cultural recovery fund 3 was based on an analysis of spend in the previous two rounds. So, we were analysing what a 50 per cent offer on the last award to those previously successful would be in…

Thanks for those questions, Jenny, and I think they're very important points, that we have commemorations of people in the past—. I go back to my answers to Mark Isherwood's points—we have people that we have commemorated in the past that we wouldn't…

Diolch, Heledd, for those comments and questions. I absolutely agree with everything that you said—your questions and the context in which you set those questions. We have all had to face, quite rightly, some very, very uncomfortable truths as we dealt with…

Statement by the Deputy Minister for Arts and Sport, and Chief Whip: Update on progress following the publication of ‘The Slave Trade and the British Empire: An Audit of Commemoration in Wales’
I thank Mark Isherwood for those comments and questions. I think much of what he says I absolutely agree with. These islands have a long history of slavery and our part in that history has not always covered us in glory. But we do have to look at it in the…
