Oral question asked in the House of Commons, by Graham Allen (Labour). It was answered by Stephen Crabb (Conservative) on Wednesday, 4 March 2015 on behalf of the Wales Office.


Income Tax Assignment

Question

What recent discussions he has had with the First Minister on income tax assignment to Wales being carried out on the same basis as applies in Scotland.

Answer

I have regular discussions with the First Minister on holding a referendum on the devolution of income tax to the National Assembly for Wales, as provided for in the Wales Act 2014. Following our commitment to a funding floor for Wales there is no reason for the First Minister not to call a referendum in the next Parliament.
