Speaking in the House of Lords on 4 December 2024

Debate

Shared Prosperity Fund: Wales

Contribution

Llongyfarchiadau mawr i dîm merched Cymru o’r beinciau yma hefyd—congratulations to the Welsh team from these Benches as well. I draw your Lordships’ attention to my registered interests. I thank the Minister for his announcement. It will bring some clarity about what will happen to the voluntary sector in Wales in the next 12 months. There has been uncertainty, added to which the third sector will be hit by the NICs rise, which will lead to higher costs that will need to be covered in any follow-up funding. Will the Minister ensure that the input and involvement of the third sector is sought through the NCVO and the WCVA, and that multiple-year funding agreements are in place to ensure the continuation of vital projects?
