Cost of Living: Wales
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Wales, what recent discussions she has had with the Chancellor of the Exchequer on fiscal steps to reduce the cost of living in Wales.
Answered by Jo Stevens
The Welsh and UK Labour Governments are determined to boost living standards for families right across Wales.
It’s why we secured a record wage increase to the National Minimum Wage and National Living Wage for up to 160,000 workers.
It’s why we are creating thousands of new jobs in our green industries, our freeports and investment zones.
And it’s why, just two weeks ago, we confirmed a second year of funding for our three economic inactivity trailblazers across Wales – to help people into good, well-paid jobs.
Labour is the only party on the side of working people in Wales and across the UK.
