Question
Will the Minister confirm whether the Welsh budget that includes funding of £27.3 million for a Rural Economy and Sustainability Programme in 2022-23, will be spent in full during this financial year?
Answer
Answered by Minister for Rural Affairs and North Wales, and Trefnydd
It is my objective to ensure the funding is fully spent. I have already announced £227m worth of rural investment schemes over 3 years to support farmers, foresters, land managers and food businesses and I am currently considering advice from officials regarding the further use of funding for rural investment during this financial year.
