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

Before the Committee adjourned, I was talking about end-year flexibility and the sum of around £385 million a year that the Treasury has not allowed the Welsh Government to access this year. That is exactly the sort of money that would help to stimulate economic growth. There are double standards in the sense that we have a Budget about economic growth, yet the Treasury is taking away the very money—the capital investment fund money—that would aid the Welsh Government to drive economic growth through public investment.
