Minutes:
Carolyn Thomas MS declared a relevant interest in accordance
with Standing Order 17.24A because there was reference made to the Shared
Prosperity Fund. She chairs the stakeholder group for the Local Growth Fund (which has succeeded the SPF). Carolyn Thomas
MS also declared that she was a member of a union - Unite the Union.
Vaughan Gething MS declared a relevant interest in accordance with Standing Order 17.24A that he had met the petitioner, and drew attention to his register of interests declaring that he was a member of several trade unions, including Unison, though not the Neath Port Talbot branch.
The Committee considered the petition and noted the response from Neath Port Talbot Council. Members acknowledged ongoing concerns regarding the transition from the Shared Prosperity Fund to the Local Growth Fund and the effect of how funding allocations are made on local employment. These were local matters for local authorities, the First Minister was engaged in managing the transition, and it was likely to be an issue for Members of the Seventh Senedd and the future subject committee. In light of this, the Committee thanked the petitioner and agreed to close the petition.
