Lord Wigley (PC)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 27 November 2024

Debate

Council of the Nations and Regions

Contribution

My Lords, one of the objectives of the council is to identify “barriers that can be unblocked”. Does the Minister accept the belief of the Welsh Government—which was raised by the First Minister of Wales, the noble Baroness, Lady Morgan of Ely—that the Barnett formula in its present form is a barrier to effective provision of public services in Wales? Will she confirm that the council has triggered an investigation into this matter? If not, why not?
