That's fine. So, thank you, Rhianon, unless you've got another—.

And in what way would—. How would that happen, as in, how would the decision be made as to who bears that cost?

Yes, please.

Of course, yes. I'm just trying to work out your thought process and your modelling and to get some confidence behind the numbers, if you like, of the way that you've come up with your estimates and that side of things. So, anything like that would be of use…

But you've responded to those, so you've, hopefully, learnt how to respond to those things, so is there some thinking going into how you might respond to an outbreak of something or an economic—? I'm assuming that there's some thinking gone in in the…

Rhianon, if I may. On that, the unknown unknowns if you like, we've been through crises in the past; we've been through foot and mouth, we've been through bovine spongiform encephalopathy, we've been through lots of different—. What learnings have you taken…

Thank you very much. Peter. No, Rhianon, sorry. Rhianon.

Do you know roughly when in the year that will be?

So, as you then develop, as this process goes on, I am assuming that you will be bringing back updated EMs and updated RIAs as it goes along.

Goblygiadau ariannol y Bil Amaethyddiaeth (Cymru): Sesiwn dystiolaeth
So, what are your contingencies? Have you got any?
9 Tachwedd 2022 , Finance Committee
Goblygiadau ariannol y Bil Amaethyddiaeth (Cymru): Sesiwn dystiolaeth
Okay. The regulatory impact assessment mentions the assumed budget is dependent on future funding settlements from HM Treasury and the Welsh Government process. What engagement have you had with HM Treasury concerning these funding settlements, and what…

I think the Economy, Trade and Rural Affairs Committee heard that the funding for the common agriculture policy was approximately £370 million. If the rural development plan pillar 2 budget for the Welsh Government matched that funding, why £278 million and…

Goblygiadau ariannol y Bil Amaethyddiaeth (Cymru): Sesiwn dystiolaeth
And you're fairly confident that this £278 million is as accurate as it can be at the moment, and that you can deliver within that figure.

Right, okay. So, from this committee's point of view, obviously there are a lot of moving parts there. It's making scrutiny difficult for us because we don't know what we're scrutinising. So, what sort of mechanisms have you got in place to be able to inform…

Wonderful. Thank you very much for coming in this morning. We're looking at the financial implications of the Agriculture (Wales) Bill, so, if it's okay with you, we'll crack on with some questions. Initially, I wanted to explore the assumed annual budget for…

So, we can move on to item 3. Bore da, croeso. It's good to see you. Thank you for making yourself available, Minister. Could you introduce yourself and your officials, please?
9 Tachwedd 2022 , Finance Committee
Papurau i'w nodi
Timescales and the fact that it's a curtailed process, so it's making sure that scrutiny happens properly. So, we'll be writing back to the Minister and probably Business Committee and the Legislation, Justice and Constitution Committee as well on that. So…

Papurau i'w nodi
Can we move, then, on to item 2? Item 2 is papers to note. Has anybody got any points to raise on any of these? The only one I had, if nobody else has, is that I will probably be writing back on paper to note 3, just in response to the timescales around the…

Bore da, a chroeso i gyfarfod y Pwyllgor Cyllid y bore yma. Rydyn ni'n mynd i fod yn symud ymlaen i edrych ar y Bil Amaeth (Cymru), ond, cyn hynny, rydyn ni am gymryd y papurau i'w nodi. I gychwyn, oes gan unrhyw un unrhyw fuddiannau i'w datgan? Peter.
