Part of 1. Questions to the First Minister – in the Senedd at 2:05 pm on 11 October 2022.
Llywydd, both I and the finance Minister have said that we will make decisions on the fiscal powers available to the Welsh Government in the way that we always do them, as part of the budget-setting process, when we have the full information we need in order to be able to do so. Now, he has made a case this afternoon; that case will be powerfully considered within the Welsh Government, but it will be done in the way that we always do it, in an orderly way, in the budget-setting process, as the Finance Committee would expect us to do, and when we are aware of all the decisions that will have an impact on our ability to fund public services next year.
