Question
Will the Cabinet Minister review the previous Welsh Government’s decision that Event Wales funding should not be used to relieve budget pressures arising from existing core event delivery costs?
Answer
Answered by Trefnydd, Chief Whip and Cabinet Minister for Culture and Sport (Heledd Fychan)
It is important that funding criteria remain fit for purpose, and I will be considering this as part of the wider development of the new Culture and Sport Strategy. Any approach must ensure public funding delivers value for money and wider benefits while supporting a sustainable events sector.
