Text
I was in the Chamber for the answers earlier. I congratulate the Minister on his particular flair when responding to questions in such a politically pointed way, which I always enjoy. I have also noticed that the Minister has made a number of announcements that often do not have any funding attached to them.
He mentioned the expansion of preschool standardisation. I wonder whether the Minister is in a position to outline the total cost of announcements that he has made since the restoration of the Assembly in February 2024 that have no actual funding secured for them yet.
