I am hugely disappointed. That £150 million fund was announced 12 months ago, and it seems that all we have had is engagement at official level. Minister, I know that you have only just taken up post, but we need political engagement in order to push the funding forward. We talk about a lack of funding in the Assembly and the Executive, but that £150 million is sitting ready to be spent. Will you state what action you will take, as Minister, rather than that which officials will take?
