Part of 1. Questions to the Minister for Finance and Local Government – in the Senedd at 2:13 pm on 30 November 2022.
Well, I don't want to pre-empt the outcome of the ongoing budget discussions that are taking place across the board at the moment, but I will say the pressures on education, which the Member has described, have been brought home very strongly to Welsh Government by colleagues in local government, and my colleague the Minister for Education and Welsh Language always makes a very robust case for schools and education as well. So, I don't really want to go much further than that at this point. But, when we do come to publishing the budget, obviously I'll try and present colleagues with as much information as I can, and I know local authorities will want to set out their spending plans to colleagues as well.
