Part of 1. Questions to the First Minister – in the Senedd at 2:13 pm on 5 November 2019.
Thank you, First Minister. I was more than a little concerned to read briefings from the last Queen's Speech that suggested that the shared prosperity fund, which will replace EU structural funding, will be approached within the context of English devolution. Hopefully, an election will bring about a change of approach in Westminster, but, in light of the importance of any successor scheme to Wales, do you agree with me that decisions regarding the operation of the fund should be made in Wales to ensure maximum benefit to people in constituencies like Cynon Valley?
