Part of 1. Questions to the Cabinet Secretary for Energy, Planning and Rural Affairs – in the Senedd at 1:48 pm on 29 November 2017.
Well, you'll appreciate that we've all had to make some very difficult decisions. I was in front of committee last week, having budget scrutiny, and you'll be aware that there was lots of noise around the fact that my budget had been cut by 5 per cent; it hadn't, because I transferred £35 million of waste funding into the revenue support grant. But still, I have had a cut of 1.5 per cent. I hope, again, I've balanced it. I've got a very broad portfolio, but I hope that no part of the portfolio feels that it's had cuts that aren't proportionate.
