Craffu ar Gyllideb Ddrafft Llywodraeth Cymru ar gyfer 2023-24: Sesiwn dystiolaeth 7
Good morning, all. Good to see you. Good to be amongst friends. Sorry that I wasn't here at the start of your session. I'm sure that Mike might have touched on it, but I just want to touch briefly, Chair, on reserves, because I know that Andrew Morgan…

Cwestiynau i’r Gweinidog Materion Gwledig a Gogledd Cymru, a’r Trefnydd
Diolch i'r Aelod am ofyn y cwestiwn. Fe'i hatgoffaf fod llywodraeth leol wedi'i datganoli i Gymru ers 23 o flynyddoedd. Ond wrth gwrs, mae seilwaith gwyrdd yn arf pwysig i helpu cymunedau i liniaru effeithiau newid hinsawdd, yn ogystal â'n helpu i gyflawni…

Diolch am yr ateb hwnnw, Weinidog, ac rydym wedi cael llawer o drafodaethau yn y Siambr hon ynglŷn â sicrhau bod digon o gyfalaf i ddatgarboneiddio, i lywodraeth leol ddatgarboneiddio a buddsoddi yn eu prosiectau gwyrdd. Ond nid arian yw'r cyfan, ychwaith…

A bit difficult.

Yes. Thanks for that. Have the various policy changes that the Welsh Government have made around land transaction tax since COVID hindered you or made it difficult for you to forecast further?
12 Ionawr 2023 , Finance Committee
Craffu ar Gyllideb Ddrafft Llywodraeth Cymru ar gyfer 2023-24: Sesiwn dystiolaeth 5
Thank you for that. You did mention land transaction tax, and I know that it's difficult to assess those sorts of things with the volatility of house prices and things, but you've significantly downgraded residential land transaction tax forecasts for both…

Thank you for that. I know it's been a bit of challenging period, to say the least. How effective do you think the current data sources available for forecasting Welsh devolved taxes are, and what consideration have you given to utilising more Wales-specific…

Good afternoon. Thanks for coming in to talk to us. I know, previously, you were talking about presenting a detailed investigation of the effects that differences between the Welsh and UK tax bases might have on your forecast for 2022. I just wondered if…

Craffu ar Gyllideb Ddrafft Llywodraeth Cymru ar gyfer 2023-24: Sesiwn dystiolaeth 4
That's all right. The final question from me is really to you, Victoria. In your response to the draft budget, you noted concerns about the process, allocations and details in the budget. Can you expand on this? Is the Welsh Government's decision-making…

Yes. And often with women, there'll be children more involved as well, so a bigger dilemma.

Craffu ar Gyllideb Ddrafft Llywodraeth Cymru ar gyfer 2023-24: Sesiwn dystiolaeth 4
Thank you for that. That was really insightful and sensible. The draft budget commits £10 million to the homelessness prevention budget. Are you clear how this will be used and what it will achieve?

I'm getting a flavour through that that, actually, it is a big—. It's a hell of a challenge, we know that it is, but prevention and investment into prevention so that we don't get to these places—. Some of this can be a bit knee-jerk to deal with the initial…

Thank you for that, and my next question—I've had a flavour of what you feel on that as well. The Welsh Government said that it can't afford to continue to fund the winter fuel support scheme provided to help people during the cost-of-living crisis, and…

Thank you. I'd like to just explore a little more your views on the allocations around the draft budget, and I've got a flavour of some of your feeling around some of the things so far from the earlier questions from the Chair. But to you all, really: in the…

And on the improvement plan, we know that prevention has been pushed back; there's not enough progress on prevention. I think I know what you're going to answer on this, but how effective is the draft budget on focusing on prevention? Should there be more? We…

I think you've answered some of my next question, actually. I know you were tasked with considering the learning and best practice that could be relevant to a strategic integrated impact assessment. I just wondered if you could share with the committee at the…

It's been some years now, hasn't it, so I can see that must be frustrating. The Government have referred to the budget as one of the most difficult since devolution. Do you think the narrative does an adequate job of analysing the negative impacts of the…

So, just following on from that and what Ed was saying, in Scotland, they've got that increased tax take, which is good. Have they reduced the impact of council tax on their residents as a quid pro quo?
