Will the Minister outline the associated costs of the Net Zero Challenge Group?
Answered by Minister for Climate Change | Answered on 17/02/2023
All members of the group are giving their time freely, with only out-of-pocket costs, such as travel to physical meetings reimbursed. Costs to date have been restricted to the Secretariat and the research of the Wales Centre for Public Policy. The costs in 2022/23 will be met from the Welsh Government’s existing contribution to the funding of the WCPP and are estimated at £42,000. I am awaiting advice on the costs for 2023/24.
