Part of the debate – in the Senedd at 6:02 pm on 17 November 2021.
Well, certainly, Huw, I can say, obviously, the Senedd is in charge of the budget for the Welsh Government, so we need to know what the budget looks like and have the Senedd pass the draft budget towards the end of this calendar year. In the meantime, I'm looking to see what the advice from my officials is and whether we can fund the programme faster than that. But it's very difficult for me to say that at this point in time, as I've yet to receive the advice, I'm sorry. As soon as I have got it, I will come back to you. I do understand the urgency that you are making.
I was actually just concluding my remarks. I was just going to say that we do want to make sure that no-one and no place is left behind as we work towards a brighter future for residents across Wales. I do want to reassure you, Huw, that we absolutely do want to find a solution for the residents of Caerau; it's just that we're in the process of a budget cycle and I absolutely have to consider it in the round. But my heart goes out to them and I really do want to find that solution.
