What you forgot to mention, finance Minister, is the £50 billion-worth of support that the UK Government announced on Wednesday of last week that local authorities will be able to benefit from, from the energy price cap. What efforts are you making available to local authorities so that they can draw down this money? And would you agree with me the best way that the UK Government can pay this money to local authorities is directly to local authorities and not, obviously, handing it over to the Welsh Government, who might end up top-slicing that money?
