I am confident because we also significantly increased its budget in budget 2026 as well. The combination of the increase in the Supplementary Estimates plus the other budgetary increase effectively means that compared to budget 2025, the board will receive an almost 70% increase in its funding in quite a short period. I am determined to ensure the RTB is fully resourced for what it needs to do in terms of the changes coming down the line but also in increasing its capacity for enforcement and data collection. We can then make even more informed policy decisions.
