Part of 1. 1. Questions to the Cabinet Secretary for Finance and Local Government – in the Senedd at 1:39 pm on 29 June 2016.

What is there that you can do to persuade the UK Government, particularly Stephen Crabb in his current position, that they should reconsider these transitional arrangements, which seem entirely reasonable and won’t cost the taxpayer any more money?
