Welsh Government Draft Budget 2025-26: Cabinet Secretary for Economy, Energy and Planning and the Minister for Culture, Skills and Social Partnership
Yes, just one final point briefly, if I may, because I know we need to move on. The paper notes that there's no funding for remote working hubs now, and I know they've been expanded and there's a need to share best practice. So, I don't know where that…

Great. Just on another point, the employability budget expenditure line has seen an increase in funding this year, which obviously is to be welcomed, and that includes the young person’s guarantee as well. Are you able to share with the committee why that has…
