Well, Llywydd, the Member attempts to be an apologist for the UK Government in this regard; it does him no good at all. Keeping it under review is no good to those families in my constituency who rely on that £20 every week to put food on the table for their children. They don't need a review, Mr Isherwood; they need to know that the money is coming to them. Alun Davies asked me a question earlier, Llywydd, about the nonsense that Conservative politicians are putting around about the £1 billion that the Welsh Government is said to have and that we will use during the rest of this financial year. The Treasury has £25 billion in its coronavirus reserve. Why don't they make their minds up and tell those families who rely on it that that money is coming to them? That's what I'd like to see.
