The Secretary of State for Wales (Stephen Kinnock)

This was a proudly Labour Budget that provides people in Wales with breathing space for today and hope for tomorrow. We are helping Welsh families with the cost of living by extending 0% VAT on electricity bills, getting rid of gas standing charges and removing the 4% tariff on heating oil to support 105,000 households in Wales.
