To propose that the National Assembly for Wales:

1. Believes that Wales benefits from being part of the United Kingdom.

2. Notes that, as a result of the Fiscal Framework agreed between the Welsh and UK Governments, Wales currently receives £1.20 per head for every £1 spent per head in England on devolved matters.

3. Welcomes the additional £790 million over and above the Welsh block grant which has been committed by the UK Government towards Growth Deals across Wales.

4. Recognises that the funding available for the Welsh Government is at record levels.

5. Calls upon the Welsh Government to:

a) use any additional resources which arise as a result of increased investment on the NHS by the UK Government to improve the Welsh health service;

b) use any additional resources which arise as a result of increased investment on education by the UK Government to improve the Welsh education system;

c) rule out any tax rises or new taxes in Wales between now and the next elections to the National Assembly for Wales.
