Part of 1. Questions to the Cabinet Secretary for Finance – in the Senedd at 1:48 pm on 14 November 2018.
Diolch, Llywydd. Cabinet Secretary, I'd like to ask you about funding available to the local government portfolio and vis-à-vis to our local authorities. As you're well aware, Welsh local authorities have been less than satisfied with the local government settlement this year, citing £262 million of budget pressures. Meanwhile, the First Minister has claimed that local government will be front of the queue should there be extra money from the UK Government's budget and the Welsh Government has also said that local government will be a key priority should there be that additional funding. As the UK Government is providing additional funding to the tune of £550 million over the next three years, how much of this will be allocated to Welsh local authorities?
