answer text <p>The Crown Estate has played a significant role in attracting international investment into Wales to support the UK’s net zero target and will continue to do so through future leasing rounds for offshore wind developments, including floating wind projects in the Celtic Sea. They work closely with Welsh Government and Natural Resources Wales in support of shared priorities, ensuring that these resources are sustainably managed for the long term.</p><p> </p><p>Introducing a new entity would fragment the market, complicate existing processes, and likely delay further development offshore, undermining investment in Welsh waters.</p><p> </p><p>Therefore, the government is not planning to transfer responsibility of the Crown Estate to Senedd Cymru.</p><p> </p> more like this

A more detailed breakdown of income components is available at the ITL1 region is available as part of the ONS’ annual release of <em>Effect of Taxes and Benefits on UK Household Income</em> [2].
