Scrutiny of the Welsh Government Draft Budget 2022-23: Evidence session 7
Yes. Suzy, I know you want to come in on this specific point, but, after making that point, if you could then maybe reflect on how engaged were you with Welsh Government's work on the tourism levy and what impact that levy will have on the industry. So, over…

Scrutiny of the Welsh Government Draft Budget 2022-23: Evidence session 7

19 January 2022Finance Committee
Scrutiny of the Welsh Government Draft Budget 2022-23: Evidence session 7
Okay, maybe I could ask Sara this question. How effective has the engagement with the Welsh Government been in allowing you to have input into the budget process, and suggested proposals for investment and spending? And maybe if anybody else wants to come in…
