Effaith gostyngiadau cyllid ar ddiwylliant a chwaraeon: Sesiwn dystiolaeth gyda Chwaraeon Cymru (4)
So, you see it as separate from the funding considerations, do you?

Do you think it might because of the funding situation?

Okay. And then, just one other quick question, as you mentioned earlier the impact on your partner bodies of the funding squeeze. I'm aware there's some concern in the sector that the stand-alone Welsh bodies may find it increasingly hard to sustain an…

So, it might not be practical for you, but you still think it might be practical for the Welsh Government to do it themselves?

Okay. Then, in a separate point, you mentioned that you found Derek Walker's argument of some preventative spend superficially attractive but would need to think it through. I guess the same argument could apply to you as an organisation. How practical would…

Yes, just some snappy ones really, just to pick up on some of the things you've said. So, on your point about the clawback of any privately funded money that you had raised being prohibited by the remit letter, would you welcome that being removed from the…

I just want to test the arguments, really. Obviously, you’re having a reduction in funding, which you don’t want, and I understand that, and the group you’re choosing to illustrate the impact of this most on is disadvantaged groups, when actually you could…

Yes. I just want to explore this issue a bit, because obviously nobody wants your funding to go down, least of all you, and there's going to be an adverse impact somewhere, clearly. But in terms of this argument that you're advancing that it's going to…

I just wonder, just reflecting, there's a general agreement, isn't there, with the WLGA to look to try and reduce the micromanagement of funds as much as possible, and to allow local authorities to have flexibility to not spend time on lots of complying with…

Well, the other issue that we then touched upon this morning was the maintenance issue, where a grant can be used to upgrade facilities, but not to maintain the facilities. And the evidence was that that is quite an unhelpful distinction for some sites where…

Okay. I wanted to come on to maintenance, but let me just finish on feasibility, because we had evidence from Monmouthshire this morning, who clearly are willing and are on board with trying to improve sites, but they gave evidence of how the upfront costs of…

Okay. Well, it may be, and I don't want to anticipate what we might suggest, that some clarity around that might be helpful. Why are you so opposed to feasibility being funded as part of the grant?

[Inaudible.]—see if there is progress, and we've had some useful evidence this morning, I think, that can help perhaps accelerate some of that. I just want to touch on the capital grant for Gypsy, Traveller sites, and it's good to see that the applications…
