Part of 1. Questions to the Cabinet Secretary for Local Government and Public Services – in the Senedd at 1:36 pm on 28 February 2018.
Presiding Officer, nobody's surprised that Nick Ramsay's used the opportunity to ask the question he has. Members may be more surprised that I know the answer. Monmouthshire County Council will receive £921,218 as a consequence of this grant. The £30 million capital grant has been distributed using the transport element of the general capital funding formula, and this formula has been agreed with local government. I will say in answer to the question that I think it's important to ensure that these moneys are distributed fairly between urban and rural, north and south, according to the needs of the area, and I hope that the funding formula that we have available to us does exactly that.
