Post-EU regional development funding: Minister for Economy

Post-EU regional development funding: Minister for Economy
Well, I'll have a read of the evidence again, but from a quick scour through this morning prior to this meeting, it looked like it was with regards to the relationship with the local authorities, but I'll take on board what you said with them. But you're…
