WELSH nationalist leader Rhun ap Iorwerth wrote to Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer today seeking a meeting to discuss fairer funding for Wales.

The letter from Plaid Cymru leader Mr ap Iorwerth also raised devolution of the income from the Crown Estate in Wales and HS2 Barnett consequential funding. 

In the letter, Mr ap Iorwerth claims that new First Minister Vaughan Gething has committed to several policies initially proposed by Plaid Cymru including that HS2 is an England-only project and its classification as England and Wales denies funding to Wales.
