Part of 2. Questions to the Counsel General and Brexit Minister (in respect of his Brexit Minister responsibilities) – in the Senedd at 2:28 pm on 22 January 2020.
Well, I thank the Member for that further question. The UK Government has committed to replace the funds lost to Wales through European structural funds. What we have asked for is for that to be quantified and for it to be by way of adjustment to the block grant so that the expenditure of that money, a hundred per cent of that money, is in accordance with the devolution settlement and enables the Welsh Government, as it does today, to deploy those funds in Wales to the best advantage of the people of Wales and to do that in a way that it can integrate with the other sources of regional funding across Wales.
