Baroness Anderson of Stoke-on-Trent (Lab)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 25 November 2025

Debate

Wales: Further Devolution

Contribution

I thank my noble friend for her question. She is very aware that, under the recent spending review, Stormont was awarded £19.2 billion—its largest ever financial settlement. As for additional tax-raising mechanisms, they exist, if Stormont wishes to use them. That is a matter for Stormont. We would support it in whichever endeavours it wants to do to access the powers already available to it.
