The funding for Natural Resources Wales is a matter for the environment Minister, but in this budget the core funding is £69 million revenue in 2020-21, and there is a capital budget of £1.2 million in 2020-21. The reduction in revenue that's been seen has been due to changes in the non-recurrent EU transition funding that was awarded during 2019-20, and a recurrent interim main expenditure group movement of £0.2 million to the local environment quality budget expenditure line, and that's due to budget re-alignments. So, those do not impact at all on the direct funding to Natural Resources Wales. The capital budgets aren't rolled forward and they're based on a profile of planned expenditure agreed during 2017-18, with 2020-21 being the final year of that three-year agreement. 

So, there's been no change in the grant-in-aid for Natural Resources Wales, but I think it's important to remember that they also receive an amount of money of grant funding from various parts of Welsh Government in addition to the grant-in-aid, and that's year-on-year for projects that are outside of the grant-in-aid. Examples would include the Wales coastal path or Fly-tipping Action Wales, which were previously included in the grant-in-aid when those resided in a different portfolio. That, again, is about the way that things have moved within Government.

Also, Natural Resources Wales has been in receipt of additional non-recurrent funding for various pressures. The Minister will obviously have some further detail on those in previous years, but they're also in receipt, again, of commercial income and forestry income, and that is another source of income for Natural Resources Wales. I know the Minister has to consider all the pressures right across her portfolio in the round, but the core funding is not the sole funding for Natural Resources Wales.
