I'm getting the message that my questions have pre-empted a statement that can be expected from the Welsh Government in the near future. Maybe I'm ahead of the game.

Thank you for that, Cabinet Secretary. Certainly in terms of the work that we've done in the Public Accounts Committee, there has been a message coming across that there's been a concern about a lack of communication between the Welsh Government and local authorities about the exact nature of the mutual investment model, but clearly with your statement coming forward, you obviously hope to address some of these concerns.

In evidence provided to the committee by the Vale of Glamorgan Council, it was explained that it's been thought that to pay back their liabilities under the model, local authorities could use the funding they allocate to individual schools for maintenance. However, the Vale of Glamorgan's representative went further to explain that the amount of funding that schools actually receive in maintenance wouldn’t necessarily be sufficient to cover that annual payment. So, that’s been a source of concern. Given the need of councils to rely on their revenue budgets to finance repayments to the model, and the need to balance that finely with the financing of other services, is it the case that there is an argument here for clearer guidance to local authorities so that, certainly in planning ahead with their budgets, they’re able to manage those budgets more effectively and also to find match funding where necessary to fill gaps that might emerge?
