Thank you, Cabinet Secretary. As you will know, authorities around Wales, including my own of RCT, have already had to stretch budgets even further to cope with the effects of storm Callum. In RCT, £100,000 was spent immediately on tackling the floods, and a further £100,000 from reserves has been earmarked for investigative and clearance work. Bearing in mind the impact and cost of future flooding incidents, how have you met these possible financial challenges within the budget allocation to local government?
