Plaid Cymru calls for new Wales Bill to give it powers on par with Scotland
Leader of Plaid Cymru Rhun ap Iorwerth stands outside the Senedd, the Welsh parliament building in Cardiff, July 16, 2024
WELSH nationalist party Plaid Cymru is demanding that Wales be given the same devolved powers as Scotland.
The party says that while Holyrood has powers to decide and implement policies on transport, the crown estate, justice and policing, energy, taxation and welfare, the Senedd does not.
Plaid Cymru leader Rhun ap Iorwerth and the party’s Westminster leader Liz Saville Roberts are to ask Westminster to introduce a Wales Bill “based on the premise of parity of powers with Scotland” when they meet Welsh Secretary Jo Stevens.
