Inquiry into a legislative budget process

Inquiry into a legislative budget process

The Finance Committee considered the establishment of a legislative budget process based on the following principles:

  • simplicity;
  • transparency; and
  • accountability.

Whilst the budget process and devolved settlement in Wales is different from most other countries, Scotland has been considering very similar issues through its Budget Process Review Group. 

The Committee took evidence from Members of the Scottish Budget Process Review Group at its meeting in Edinburgh on 13 June 2019.

 

The Committee published its report (PDF, 793KB) on 6 August 2020. The Welsh Government responded (PDF 380KB) to the Committee’s report on 21 September 2020.
