Purpose of the consultation
The Committees of the Senedd are seeking information to inform their scrutiny of the Welsh Government’s 2025-26 Draft Budget proposals. We are interested in exploring expectations of the 2025-26 budget, including financial readiness for the 2025-26 financial year and the impact of the 2024-25 budget.
The Finance Committee looks at the Welsh Government’s budget from a strategic, overarching perspective. We also work with the other Senedd Committees to ensure that proposals for specific departments, or cabinet portfolios are considered in detail.
The Committee asks for views on the specific questions included in the consultation letter (PDF 327kb) and any general views in relation to the draft budget.
Providing information to the Committee
Interested parties are invited to submit written evidence by completing a Consultation Form or by writing to the Clerk of the Finance Committee by Friday 29 November 2024.
