Labour ripped off Wales
This morning's Western Mail contains confirmation of what we have long suspected, that when the Welsh Assembly acquires new responsibilities it does not get sufficient funding transferred to it to pay for these functions.
They say that this includes the transfer of responsibility for fire and rescue, CAFCASS and the Arriva Trains franchise, all of which took place under the previous Labour Government. I raised this issue with the Finance Minister today but she was not interested in addressing the issue seriously.
