Scrutiny of the Welsh Government Draft Budget 2023-24: Evidence session 7
Lis, anything to add? I know you had your hand up, but whether or not you've got anything further to add that's—. I'm just looking at the time, that's all.

19 January 2023Finance Committee
Scrutiny of the Welsh Government Draft Budget 2023-24: Evidence session 7
Sorry, I'll bring Llinos and Anthony in in a second. Is that being driven by the WLGA or is that being assisted by the Minister taking a lead in helping you to navigate through this budget, because, obviously, she's got the position of being the local…
19 January 2023Finance Committee
Scrutiny of the Welsh Government Draft Budget 2023-24: Evidence session 7
