A few weeks ago, we heard from the chief executive of Neath Port Talbot County Borough Council saying that they would have to make people redundant unless funding was made available for the teachers' pay rise from the Westminster Government centrally. Now, I’m proud to say that Ben Lake, Plaid Cymru MP, has requested that funding from the Westminster Government in Parliament there, and he has been of great assistance in ensuring that the funding will be made available to Wales. So, can I ask when will that funding be provided to Neath Port Talbot council, so that they don’t have to consider redundancies, and so that they can give the very deserved pay rise to teachers within that council?
