QNR – in the Senedd on 23 May 2017.
To invest in skills, infrastructure and supporting business growth.
I have made clear there will be no rise in the Welsh rates of income tax during the lifetime of this Assembly. Any change to the reserved part of income tax would be a matter for the next UK Government.
Despite our calls for the devolution of funding for rail infrastructure, responsibility remains with the UK Government. We have however developed a methodology to accelerate development work of Welsh projects so when funding opportunities occur projects are at a more advanced stage to be submitted for consideration.
