Senedd agrees all-party approach to British-level funding
Welsh Finance minister Rebecca Evans

AN UNUSUAL all-party approach to the British Treasury was agreed in the Senedd today, the day that Finance Minister Rebecca Evans published the Welsh government’s final budget.

She said that the budget had been prepared as the government faced the most difficult financial situation since the start of devolution.

“The impact of persistently high inflation meant that our budget was worth £1.3 billion less in real terms than it was when it was set by the UK government in 2021,” Ms Evans said.
