Part of 1. 1. Questions to the Cabinet Secretary for Economy and Infrastructure – in the Senedd at 2:06 pm on 9 November 2016.
The money is allocated within the next financial year’s budget—or in the draft budget—and, subsequent to that work being carried out, I’d expect the project to be able to be examined thoroughly by NICW and, following their assessment of the project, Government would then receive a set of recommendations. We would then, if NICW or the experts were minded to recommend the project go ahead, incorporate it into a future national transport finance plan. But I do take on board what the Member says about ensuring that all of what we do in terms of transport and all other services that we provide are fully affordable.
