With no interest in ‘Strictly’, but with a huge amount of interest in this debate on the draft budget, may I thank all those who’ve contributed, almost, especially from this side of the Chamber? But I will focus my attention on this agreement between Labour and Plaid Cymru that has delivered what we have to study before us today.

I would agree with those comments that we do need greater transparency in this budgetary process so that we can get to grips with where exactly—. If we decide to promise that we are going to spend on something, we must ensure that we can find out to all of our satisfaction—all of us, from every party—to prove to ourselves, before we can vote, that the promises have been fulfilled and that we see the development in this budgetary process of much greater transparency, to reflect the words that we’ve heard from Sian Gwenllian and Adam Price this afternoon.

Of course, this agreement between Plaid Cymru and Labour is just part of the budget. We are naturally supportive of our work and the hard work done by Adam Price and the team in that regard, and that’s enough to ensure that we, as a party, will be abstaining when it comes to a vote on this draft budget.

I was going to focus briefly on my portfolio, namely heritage and culture. Of course, this agreement between Plaid Cymru and Labour has ensured around £3 million in additional to the arts. This means an increase in the budget for the Arts Council of Wales, an increase in the budget for the National Museum Wales, the National Library of Wales and the Welsh Books Council—an increase in their budgets on top of what they would have been allocated already.

Of course, this agreement of £3 million also means funding for feasibility studies for a football museum in Wrexham and of course a feasibility study for a national contemporary art gallery. That leaves some funding for us to support the Welsh music industry and the performing arts.

There is a great deal for us to welcome as a party in this agreement between Plaid Cymru and the Labour Party. Of course, as I’ve already said, this is only part of this entire budget—it’s one part of the wider budget. I’m not going to repeat some of the statements that have already been made, but I would agree with many of the words that have been said this afternoon not just about the transparency of the process but of course with the priorities set for us as a nation when we face a funding crisis such as this one.

But, on these benches, we are very pleased with what we’ve managed to agree following very hard work done by Adam and the Cabinet Secretary. We’re very pleased that we’ve been able to amend what was before us. There would have been less work without us. We are very pleased with that work and that’s enough to lead us to abstain when it comes to the vote. Thank you.
