Speaking in the House of Lords on 12 June 2025

Debate

Spending Review 2025

Contribution

For 14 years, the Conservatives failed the people of Wales. Those days are over. Following representations from my right honourable friend the Secretary of State for Wales, the First Minister of Wales, and Welsh Labour MPs, today I am pleased to announce £445 million for railways in Wales over 10 years, including new funding for Padeswood sidings and Cardiff West junction. That is the difference made by two Labour Governments, working together to undo a generation of underfunding and neglect.
