2. Stage 1 scrutiny of the Environment (Principles, Governance and Biodiversity Targets) (Wales) Bill - Evidence session with academics

I listened carefully to what the Deputy First Minister said about legislation elsewhere in the UK and about this question of sufficiency of funding and the vague nature of that phrasing. I think all of that is true, and I accept it, though I have to say it is backed, for example, in England by the power of the OEP to comment on their funding and the sufficiency of their funding in its corporate planning, and that does go then on to the Parliament. So, there are other supportive mechanisms around that word 'sufficiency'.
But the First Minister laid down the challenge in giving evidence to this committee, and said, 'Well, if someone can come up with some other mechanism, then let them come forward'. So, I thought I ought to respond to the challenge, and suggest that there could be a legislative assurance for a fixed period of time, and I suggested in my paper five years, so that we knew, going forward, precisely what resources would be there for the OEGW. Beyond five years, there's no guarantee, but my logic was that, at the end of five years, if it's functioning well, then there would be Welsh public confidence in that office and we would be safe going forward. That was my logic.
We've had an example this week: Bridget Phillipson and the return to Sure Start. The press reports of that tell us that she said it would be embedded and protected against dismantling, and that would be in two ways. The first was ring-fencing £500 million specifically for the new scheme, and then allocating rights to draw down that funding to people. So, it's not impossible. There are other bodies—and this partly comes back to Julie's point—like the Office for Budget Responsibility that are important bodies that must establish their independence.
