Of course, that wasn't the only thing that the UK Government did to support people with the cost-of-living situation. They also gave a £150 council tax discount to homes, albeit in England. You got a consequential. You could go 20 per cent further than that here in Wales because, of course, for every £1 that is spent on a devolved service in England, Wales has £1.20 to spend here. Why didn't you give a more generous council tax discount to home owners and council tax payers in Wales, who have had to deal with increases of up to 300 per cent in council tax in some local authorities since 1999, when the Labour Party has been in Government in Wales?
