Plaid Cymru demands fairness for Wales in Chancellor Rachel Reeves’s Autumn Statement
Leader of Plaid Cymru Rhun ap Iorwerth speaks during the party's annual conference at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff, October 11, 2024

WELSH nationalists will demand fair funding in Chancellor Rachel Reeves’s Autumn Statement during a Budget debate in the Senedd later today.

The Budget debate in the Welsh Parliament has been called by Plaid Cymru and is demanding the Welsh government put pressure on the UK Labour government to ensure five demands are included in next week’s Autumn Statement.

Plaid Cymru will call for the high-speed HS2 rail line to be reclassified as an England-only project, and for Wales to receive an alleged £4 billion it is due from the project.
