So, are we likely to use all that headroom?

Ail Gyllideb Atodol Llywodraeth Cymru 2021-22: Sesiwn dystiolaeth
Okay, fine. Thank you very much. So, can you tell us what was the balance of the Wales reserve at the end of 2021, and what you expect the balance to be at the end of this financial year?

Ail Gyllideb Atodol Llywodraeth Cymru 2021-22: Sesiwn dystiolaeth
Yes, if you wouldn't mind. Rather than read them all out, if you could let us have that, that would be great. And the £149 million adjustment to capital funding, can you clarify what that is and explain why this is included in the supplementary budget rather…

Ail Gyllideb Atodol Llywodraeth Cymru 2021-22: Sesiwn dystiolaeth
Yes, of course.

Ail Gyllideb Atodol Llywodraeth Cymru 2021-22: Sesiwn dystiolaeth
Sorry to cut across. I think it's £149 million capital adjustment this year.

Ail Gyllideb Atodol Llywodraeth Cymru 2021-22: Sesiwn dystiolaeth
Thank you very much. Could I just ask a couple more questions? The supplementary budget was published before the UK supplementary estimates were laid. Can you summarise the changes to Welsh Government funding for this financial year included in these…

So, bearing in mind now that, obviously, effectively, you're saying you're £9 million down, what impact does that have on—? So, you're calculating for £180 million extra; now you're £9 million down. So, what have been your thoughts, and what's the process…
2 Mawrth 2022 , Finance Committee
Ail Gyllideb Atodol Llywodraeth Cymru 2021-22: Sesiwn dystiolaeth
Thank you. Can you talk us through—? We saw a little bit in the media around the £180 million and the issues around what Westminster were saying and what the First Minister was saying, and there was a little bit of to-ing and fro-ing. Can you talk us through…

Ail Gyllideb Atodol Llywodraeth Cymru 2021-22: Sesiwn dystiolaeth
Okay, thank you very much. So, the announcement of the £330 million cost-of-living support was on 14 February, less than a week before a Plenary debate on the draft budget for 2022-23. Could you not have brought it forward so that that came into that, so that…

Ail Gyllideb Atodol Llywodraeth Cymru 2021-22: Sesiwn dystiolaeth
You had the cost-of-living summit on 17 February. What, if any, further allocations will be made as part of that? Did anything come out of that that changed your thinking, or to make other allocations?
2 Mawrth 2022 , Finance Committee
Ail Gyllideb Atodol Llywodraeth Cymru 2021-22: Sesiwn dystiolaeth
So, people in homes all across Wales will be starting to see that money coming through in April, so we'll be able to see that action happening very, very soon.
2 Mawrth 2022 , Finance Committee
Ail Gyllideb Atodol Llywodraeth Cymru 2021-22: Sesiwn dystiolaeth
So, what are the—? When is it being paid—? When is that going to come out? So, how's that split across the two financial years?

Ail Gyllideb Atodol Llywodraeth Cymru 2021-22: Sesiwn dystiolaeth
Wonderful. Thank you very much. Thank you for attending this morning. It's greatly appreciated. We'll crack on with some questions. I'd like to start by understanding the timing of the announcements of the funding for the cost-of-living crisis, and explore…

Wel, diolch yn fawr iawn i chi i gyd am ddod bore yma, ac am ateb ein cwestiynau ni yn glir ac yn eglur. Dwi'n falch ein bod ni wedi gallu gwneud hyn mewn person, fel roedd Peter yn ei ddweud yn fanna.

Yes, it's been fascinating to listen to the answers and to go through it with colleagues, and I know Peter's been through it with two committees.

Bil Deddfau Trethi Cymru etc. (Pŵer i Addasu): Sesiwn dystiolaeth 6
Okay. Thank you very much. I've just got a couple of questions left. You told us previously that there's no uncertainty or subjectivity as to how the proposed power may be used, because the four purposes are set out in the Bill. Do you still hold the view in…

Bil Deddfau Trethi Cymru etc. (Pŵer i Addasu): Sesiwn dystiolaeth 6
Whatever mechanism works so that it would give it enough chance to be used properly so that we've got something to test, but also to look at—. It might not be the four purposes, and then we'd think, 'Well, actually, do we need the four purposes or do we just…

Sorry, Mike, if I may, going back to what the Minister was saying there around when to review—and it may be coming across what Mike was about to say—would it be possible, or would you think it appropriate, to put into this legislation a clause that says that…

Sorry, Peter. The inverse of that is that somebody could find themselves inadvertently with a huge tax bill for something that they were completely—. They were thinking that they were working within the law, the law changes retrospectively and all of a sudden…
