Part of 1. Questions to the First Minister – in the Senedd at 1:48 pm on 22 June 2021.
Regrettably, I didn't hear a commitment to have a review of that funding formula, although I do accept that it's a complex area and I do accept the point that you make, First Minister, about the fierceness with which the sector protects its charitable status, and rightly so because of the money it raises.
But if I could raise a separate matter with you and that's around the football that's due to take place in the last 16 of the UEFA European Football Championship on Saturday. Yesterday, the health Minister, in my mind rightly, pointed out the restrictions that are being put on international travel for fans to go over to Amsterdam. However, this morning the Danish Government have come out and said that their fans will be able to travel to Holland, to Amsterdam, to watch their team play, provided it's within a 12-hour window. Now, very often fans in the stadium are classed as the twelfth man, helping their team on to victory hopefully, as we all wish next Saturday. Given the change in circumstances for Danish fans, and as I understand it the level of infection is the same in Denmark as it is here in Wales, will you be making any representations to the Dutch authorities to allow Welsh fans to travel, should they meet the travel requirements that are placed on travelling fans to watch in-tournament matches? Because I do believe that the ground has now moved, given that both teams were on the same field yesterday when it came to fans' restrictions, but today the Danish Government have moved to allow their fans to travel within a 12-hour window for Saturday's match.
