In September, I attended the Fair Funding Wales anti-austerity rally at city hall in Cardiff, along with other Members from this Assembly, and more recently leaders and mayors throughout the UK went up to Westminster in order to have a meeting, they hoped, with the Government about the issue of fair funding, which did not take place, and of course today we have a statement on the draft budget by the Cabinet Secretary after nine years of austerity, of continuous cuts. And so, given the fact that, by 2019-20, the Welsh Government’s revenue budget is due to be down by £1.2 billion, can the leader of the house suggest any way forward, through the business of this house, that we can bring this issue further to the front?
