Thank you very much for the question on the Brexit preparedness funding. Of course, we have introduced the £50 million fund for preparedness for Brexit and a number of statements have been made by portfolio Ministers as to how that's been spent. For example, the police partnership resilience scheme has recently been announced, the Association of Directors of Social Services Cymru Brexit support scheme, and preparations for the successor arrangements for those EU schemes, such as what will become the shared prosperity fund and so on.

There is another £10 million within the funding of that £31 million, which is yet to be allocated. I'm having discussions currently with the First Minister and with officials across Government with a view to coming forward with a further announcement as to how that money will be spent, but that discussion is very active at the moment.
