Minister, public services across South Wales Central rely on annual budgets to be set, and at the moment—. And I do declare an interest, as a member of a local authority, the Vale of Glamorgan local authority. At the moment, councils and police authorities are setting their budget rates. The police and crime commissioner set an indicative rate of a 5.5 per cent increase, and the Vale of Glamorgan Council set an indicative rate of a 3.9 per cent increase. Given inflation is negligible at the moment, do you agree with the comments that your leader in London has made, Keir Starmer, that such increases are absurd, or are they a sensible part of the budget setting process that public services require?
