Part of the debate – in the Senedd at 4:10 pm on 4 May 2022.
Our commitment was the £42 million plus, the 300 projects, throughout the pandemic, in fact, extending it to ensure that it could meet the needs of the pandemic. But it's important that we recognise that this is an issue about local communities influencing what they want, like the Al-Ikhlas cultural education centre in Cardiff—awarded £0.25 million to convert two adjacent properties into a community hub. And I've been very keen that there should be an interfaith approach in terms of reaching out to our Muslim communities, Hindu communities, Christian communities as well. And we've protected jobs and businesses across all our communities.
So, in conclusion, just in terms of all the funding that we've provided to build 20,000 low-carbon homes, £1 billion in capital for education, Flying Start—. We could go on, Deputy Llywydd, with every portfolio giving swathes of examples of how this Welsh Labour Government, with support in many areas from Plaid Cymru, is standing up for the communities we serve, and delivering on our programme for Government. So, the truth is, Deputy Llywydd, it's an audacious move indeed, even in this world of politics, for the Welsh Conservatives to table such a motion when they do such a disservice to the people who need us most. This Government will continue to deliver. We will continue to be the fiercest defenders, with our partners in local government, of those we serve. Diolch yn fawr.
