And I think that you will see the outcome of that, when local democracy will prevail tomorrow. But the serious point about this debate that we are having today is the news stories, day to day, of prices soaring: food, fuel, clothes, travel costs, rent, a 54 per cent increase in the energy cap alone. It's the single largest increase in UK energy bills for more than 20 years. The average fuel bill will rise to almost £2,000 a year. What was the Tory response to this? A one-off £200 rebate that must be repaid.

Meanwhile, the Welsh Government has invested more than double what we have received in consequential funding from the UK Government. Our £51 million household support fund in December targets support at people who need it the most. The heart of this is our winter fuel support payment—a £100 cash payment. We doubled that to £200. Also, there's £1.1 million to support foodbanks, community food partnerships and community hubs.

But after Ofgem announced those increases to the energy cap, we then initiated a £330 million cost-of-living package of support, far beyond that announced by the UK Government. It included the £150 cost-of-living payment, supporting over a million households, and a further £25 million—all important for local authorities that they have that discretionary fund as well, to meet those whom they know need it most.

There's £21.4 million allocated to extend free school meals through Easter, Whitsun and summer, and, crucially important and called for in this Chamber, we're extending the discretionary assistance fund—£100 million more for that—and extending the winter fuel support scheme into next year. That all-important payment—no loans. A payment. This is £200 of money that's going into the pockets of those who need it, unlike the UK Government rebate, which has to be repaid. It's not a rebate. It's just a loan.

So, this is what it looks like for us, the Welsh Labour Government, to stand up for Welsh communities.
