Cyllideb Ddrafft Llywodraeth Cymru - Y Gweinidog Materion Gwledig a Gogledd Cymru, a’r Trefnydd

Thank you, Sarah. Before I bring in Vikki Howells, can I just come back to this £21 million shortfall? You've obviously recognised there's a shortfall, but you're telling us as a committee that there is no funding gap at the moment because you're actually…

Cyllideb Ddrafft Llywodraeth Cymru - Y Gweinidog Materion Gwledig a Gogledd Cymru, a’r Trefnydd

Cyllideb Ddrafft Llywodraeth Cymru - Y Gweinidog Materion Gwledig a Gogledd Cymru, a’r Trefnydd
