Crown Estate (Wales) Bill [HL]Contribution
Lo and behold, when the Conservatives came to power, what did the Treasury do in 2011? It directed that this money should be clawed back by the Treasury, and Wales lost all the benefit of that funding. That is how much we can trust the Treasury on matters such as this. There is little surprise that you get the unanimity of the councils in Wales and, indeed, the support of the political parties—except for the Conservatives, possibly—in Senedd Cymru.
