Sorry, I have no time.

Deputy Presiding Officer, I came to this Assembly from local government and in Wales, under Labour, despite scalic block grant cuts to Wales, local government revenue funding has been protected, standing at £4.114 billion—the best settlement, protected following years of cuts from the UK Government. A level of protection that has not been afforded to local government in England under the Tories. Council budgets there have been cut by 10 per cent in cash terms. Vulnerable people—the biggest users of local authorities in England—are suffering, whereas, in Wales, those budgets have gone up by 2.5 per cent. To put this in context, Cardiff’s expenditure increased by £67 million and in Liverpool, it decreased by £75 million. In the words of Catatonia—and I promise I won’t sing it—‘Every day, when I wake up, I thank the Lord that I am Welsh’ because I served in local government as a teacher, and in Wales, under Labour, school buildings are being radically improved with a £2 billion twenty-first century school building programme—the biggest school building programme Wales has ever seen, after years of pre-devolution disinvestment in school assets. In Islwyn, the magnificent Islwyn High School is rising from the ground; in England, as has been said by many, the Tories have trashed and abolished Labour’s school building programme. So, if it’s true—and it is true—I say to myself, ‘Thank the Lord that I am Welsh’, because as the Conservative Members know in their heart of hearts, life is better under Welsh Labour. Thank you.
