To propose that the National Assembly for Wales:

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

2. Notes that the Welsh Government successfully negotiated a new needs based factor within the Barnett formula as part of the Fiscal Framework agreement with the UK Government.

3. Regrets that the UK Government often invests less than the Welsh Government in important non-devolved areas of responsibility across Wales including rail infrastructure and digital connectivity.

4. Notes that the UK Government’s one year spending round leaves the Welsh Government £300m worse off in real terms compared with 2010-11 and condemns a decade of unjust, UK imposed austerity.

5. Notes that despite the pressures caused by austerity, the Country and Regional Analysis November 2019 statistics shows that in Wales:

a) spending per person on health and social services was the highest of the four UK countries and 11 per cent higher than in England;

b) spending per person on education was 6 per cent higher than spending per person in England.

6. Notes the Welsh Government’s commitment to not increase Welsh rates of Income Tax during this Assembly term.
