Will the Welsh Government confirm that the 2022-23 budget allocation to the rural economic and sustainability programme of £27.3m has been spent in full and provide a breakdown of the budget allocations and spend achieved across the various schemes?

The deadline for beneficiaries to make claims for FY 2022/23 was 31st March 2023 and these claims are now being processed. Information on schemes can be found at Schemes | Business Wales - Business Wales (gov.wales) and will be subject to oversight and scrutiny through Senedd Committees, as we transition towards the Sustainable Farming Scheme.
