Question
What was the total budget for the rural investment scheme and how much of it has been spent?
Answer
Answered by Minister for Rural Affairs and North Wales, and Trefnydd
In 2022/23 £6.88m was spent via the rural investment scheme budget line, from an available budget of £27.3m.
In 2023/24, to date £3.6m has been spent to date via the rural investment scheme budget line, from an available budget of £59.6m, following the deduction of £30m set out in the Welsh Government’s financial position update of 17 October 2023.
I cannot confirm the budget in 2024/25 until the Cabinet have considered budget allocations.
