Instruments that raise issues to be reported to the Senedd under Standing Order 21.2 or 21.3 - previously considered
Just one comment I'd make before we move on: if anybody feels that there is a need for clarification, I would've thought it would be good governance for the Government to respond by providing that clarification whether they thought it was needed or not…

Just to go back now, we've talked about the lending—let's talk about the repayment. We were told—I was going to say, 'a few moments ago'; it's probably about an hour ago now—by the Development Bank of Wales that they don't lend over the 25-year period that is…

Diolch, Cadeirydd. I think Kate has answered this question, and David has answered it in part. How important has FTC been in filling gaps in the money you’ve required in order to carry out the work you wanted to carry out?
