Proceeding contribution from Jonathan Edwards (Plaid Cymru) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 30 March 2011. It occurred during Grand Committee proceedings (HC) on The Budget.

The Budget

The Holtham recommendations are quite clear, but before we start moving towards taxation powers we need to have the floor in place and reform of the Barnett formula. That is the point that I was making earlier, and I think it is more than fair. Only last month, the so-called respect agenda was shot to pieces when the UK Government mugged the Welsh Government of its end-year flexibility, which accounted for £385 million. That money was being prudently accumulated by the Welsh Government as part of their strategic capital investment fund.
