Part of 1. 1. Questions to the Cabinet Secretary for Finance and Local Government – in the Senedd at 1:43 pm on 11 January 2017.
That is certainly good news, Cabinet Secretary, and a major plus of the current Wales Bill as it progresses. These are clearly fiscally complex times for the Assembly with the devolution of new taxes, the consequent variance in the block grant, the advent of borrowing powers—I could go on. I understand that the agreement allows for yearly review of arrangements. Can you update us on arrangements for additional mediation between the Governments if there is a future disagreement over sums coming to Wales? How do you intend to safeguard the independence of arrangements on both sides, when those disagreements will ultimately, eventually show themselves to appear?
