Part of 2. 2. Questions to the Cabinet Secretary for Communities and Children – in the Senedd at 2:31 pm on 14 September 2016.
It’s a very important question the Member raises, and the First Minister has been very clear, in terms of negotiations with the UK Government, on how and when we expect to see funding coming forward. To date, we haven’t had much indication, or much luck on that indication, but he is pressing the UK very hard. We have done some assessments on impacts of Brexit, particularly around the skills, jobs and growth area, which we are particularly concerned about, but what we cannot promise is to mitigate the significant amounts of money that come from Europe through to Wales—that we can backfill that very easily. We have to prioritise our programmes in the future. We are still doing some work on that.
