Speaking in the House of Commons on 3 December 2025

Debate

2025 Budget

Contribution

We all know why the Chancellor went to Wales on Monday: she was seeking to avoid scrutiny over a self-inflicted controversy, but it does not end there. There has been criticism of the Chancellor’s claim that additional funding for Scotland was given “because Anas Sarwar asked us to.”—[Official Report, 26 November 2025; Vol. 776, c. 388.] There was no mention of the Welsh First Minister, Eluned Morgan. There is a mechanism for Barnett funding; it is not a gift. Will the Secretary of State commit to honesty about how Wales is funded, rather than insulting our intelligence?
