(Translated) What is the Welsh Government doing to address the impact of the end of EU structural funding in Mid and West Wales?

The Welsh Government is working with partners to mitigate as far as possible the consequences of a UK Government replacement scheme that is underfunded, unfit for purpose and is resulting in the closure of programmes that are vital to our economy, and directly costing Wales jobs.

(Translated) What assessment has the Welsh Government made of employment levels in south-east Wales?

In south-east Wales, 718,000 people were in employment in the 12 months to September 2022, up 12.8 per cent on the same period in 2011. This is a better performance than Wales and UK over the same period.

(Translated) What assessment has the Welsh Government made of the impact on Wales of the UK Government's announcement regarding the latest round of levelling-up funding?

The majority of Welsh bids were rejected by the UK Government as Ministers in London override our devolution settlement and make funding decisions on local projects within our communities. Levelling-up in Wales means failing schemes and unmet promises on EU funds, which are costing jobs and growth.
