CONCESSIONS to the Liberal Democrats were expected to lead to the Welsh government’s draft £26 billion budget receiving Senedd approval last night.
Sole Lib Dem member Jane Dodds has done a deal in exchange for a ban on greyhound racing, £1 bus fares for under-21s across Wales, costing £15 million, and a cash boost for the care sector and local councils.
Finance Secretary Mark Drakeford made £100m worth of commitments to secure the deal with Ms Dodds.
