13. Mr. Edwards

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales when he expects to meet the First Secretary to discuss the funding of local government in Wales. [108923]

My "right" hon. Friend meets the First Secretary regularly to discuss a range of issues including the funding of local government in Wales. The allocation of funding to local authorities is a matter for the National Assembly for Wales.
