Welsh Government Budget 2017-18
The
Welsh
Government laid its draft
budget for 2017-18 (PDF, 298KB) on 18 October 2016.
In
July 2016, the Finance
Committee launched a public
consultation on proposals for the draft budget and these findings
fed into evidence sessions on strategic matters within the draft budget during
the autumn term.
Other
Assembly Committees
held separate evidence sessions on more specific matters within the draft
budget, which fed into the Finance Committee’s report.
The
Committee published a report
on its Scrutiny of the Welsh Government Draft Budget 2017-18 (PDF, 2MB) on
29 November 2016. The Welsh
Government response (PDF, 411KB) to the Committee’s report was received on
9 January 2017.
The
whole Assembly approved the draft budget in Plenary on 6 December 2016.
The Welsh Government laid its final
budget for 2017-18 (PDF, 237KB) on 20 December 2016, which was also
approved by the whole Assembly in Plenary on 10 January 2017.
