It would be very useful to have the facts and figures on that. Thank you very much. Is that your last question, Jane?

So, even though—. I appreciate your commitment to this. So, despite having a Minister who is so committed to it, still nothing has happened on this for the last several years.

We've two months still left of this financial year; are you saying that no money will be spent from that budget yet again?

Thank you. Back to you, Altaf.

Can I just come in as a supplementary, Altaf? The key question for me is how much is the voluntary sector dependent on statutory bodies for its funding, which makes it quite difficult for it to adequately challenge the bodies that are funding it.

Thanks very much. Can I bring in Altaf Hussain now, who's going to ask some questions on promoting equality and strengthening human rights? Altaf.
22 Ionawr 2024 , Equality and Social Justice Committee
Cyllideb ddrafft 2024-25: Sesiwn dystiolaeth ar waith Gweinidogion

Okay. Well, it would be very useful, so that we can reflect on anything that you're able to give us in our draft report for Senedd Members, because I appreciate, with a 16 per cent cut in that budget line, we need to make sure that that money is being spent…
