Plaid’s Wood vows to spread the wealth

PLAID Cymru leader Leanne Wood promised yesterday to redistribute wealth from London to Wales if her party holds the balance of power at Westminster.

Ms Wood said Plaid would use a hung Parliament to “unleash Wales’s economic potential” as she unveiled the party’s manifesto.

It includes measures to end austerity through investment, along with commitments to a living wage for all by 2020 and employee ownership and representation on company boards.
