Yes—simply because of the volume of work that's been required to be undertaken during the assessment programme. I think it's important to say that there's no point in moving schemes to a detailed business case level unless we are completely confident that there is potential for them to result in a sound business case, and that's why the work has been so extensive.

I am still fighting for additional resource to be made available, but it will be down to UK Government to make the money available to Wales.
