SENEDD members lined up today to fire economic questions at the First Minister on the day his government was announcing a package of budget cuts.

Plaid Cymru’s Sioned Williams wanted to know how the Welsh government was supporting families with children living in poverty.

First Minister Mark Drakeford said that the Tory government in London was presiding over an increase in child poverty in Wales, but his administration was doing “everything we can to reduce it, despite the extraordinary pressures on our budgets.”
