Cost of Living: Wales
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Wales, what discussions she has had with the Chancellor of the Exchequer on the potential impact of her policies on the cost of living in Wales.
Answered by Jo Stevens
I have regular discussions with the Chancellor of the Exchequer on the cost of living in Wales. We took decisive action in the budget by scrapping the Two Child Limit, extending the fuel duty freeze, uprating the Universal Credit Standard Allowance and increasing the State Pension.
This was a Labour budget, with Labour values at its heart. We are determined to do whatever it takes to improve the cost of living for families across Wales.
