You make a number of very valid points. First of all, taking the concept of a shared prosperity fund, it’s unclear, when the Government talks about a shared prosperity fund, what prosperity it’s talking about, whose prosperity it is and how exactly it is going to be shared and who’s going to control that sharing. Of course, there’ve been a number of statements, and the problem with the statements that have come out is they’ve been rather contradictory, in my view, in terms of the nuances: on the one hand, that the process of leaving the EU and the great repeal Bill will result in more powers coming to this place and increased responsibility; but then, on the other hand, there is talk about increasing the unity of the United Kingdom of concepts such as no more ‘devolve and forget’. It’s very unclear exactly what that term means and it could mean that you have a situation where there are increasing areas of responsibility and increasing powers but, of course, in order to exit those responsibilities you’ll need to apply then to the shared prosperity fund, which will then determine the way in which moneys can actually be used and, effectively, be a significant drawing back of the fundamental principles on what devolution has proceeded with ever since 1997 and I think the outcome of the various referendums and commitments that have been given.

So, there is a concern there and it is a matter that will need considerable clarity. I’m not quite sure how or when that clarity may emerge, bearing in mind the current situation. But I think the position of the Welsh Government is this: those areas that are the responsibility of this place, the funding that was promised should come here, and it should come here without strings attached because that is the true nature of decentralisation and devolution.
