WQ95886 (e) Tabled on 24/02/2025

Will the Cabinet Secretary provide a full breakdown of capital spending by department and by Welsh region in each of the last five financial years in table format?

Answered by Cabinet Secretary for Finance and Welsh Language | Answered on 04/03/2025

See below. The information is not available on a regional basis. Tables 1a and 1b reflect the general capital spending in the last five years by MEG. It was necessary to split into two tables due to a change in portfolio responsibilities. Tables 2a and 2b reflect the capital FT spending in those years. The information is published in the Report on Outturn for the relevant years.
