Welsh Government to publish draft budget
The Welsh Government will publish its draft budget for the next financial year.
On Tuesday, the Government will outline its spending plans for 2026/27 before publishing more detail in November.
Welsh First Minister Eluned Morgan has already warned of cuts to frontline services if the devolved Labour administration does not succeed in passing a budget.
Help
When passing its last budget in March, the Welsh Government needed the help of an opposition member to get it through by a tight margin.
While Labour is the largest party in the Senedd, it does not have a majority.
An upcoming by-election in the Caerphilly constituency could make the next budget vote even more difficult if the party loses the seat.
The draft budget for 2026/27 will set out spending plans worth more than £27 billion for public services.
The Senedd will vote on the final budget in January.
