Part of 1. 1. Questions to the Cabinet Secretary for Finance and Local Government – in the Senedd at 1:34 pm on 11 January 2017.
Well, Chair, in front of the Finance Committee this morning, I explored the fact that there are a range of different capital ways in which we can invest in Wales—traditional capital, financial transaction capital, the new borrowing ability that we will have should the Wales Bill pass, and then innovative funding models. We are trying to use all the levers at our disposal in order to carry out those very important capital investments that are there right across the range of responsibilities that the Assembly discharges. Now, in the case of Cadw, the Cabinet Secretary has had discussions with Cadw about them themselves supporting capital investment through the revenue that they raise, and that’s yet another way in which we’re able to do this, but we remain open to looking at all the different methods that are available to us in order to do important work of the sort that the Member just identified.
