Part of 2. 2. Questions to the Cabinet Secretary for Finance and Local Government – in the Senedd at 2:04 pm on 19 October 2016.
Well, we will continue with that intention in the next financial year. I’ve spoken to all Cabinet members and they have all placed some grants into the RSG for next year. That is part of the pattern that we, as a Government, have drawn up over the past few years. I am eager to proceed in the same way for next year, where we can provide greater flexibility for local authorities to use the funding available to them. I agree with them that that is the best way of using those funds in future.
