Burnham's Big Promises for England, but What About Wales?

Responding to Andy Burnham's speech, Welsh Liberal Democrat Westminster Spokesperson David Chadwick MP said:

"Andy Burnham says he wants to take power out of Westminster, yet today's plans appear to leave Wales once again at the back of the queue compared to English regions.

"If Labour can find the ambition to devolve powers across England, they should have the ambition to give Wales the same powers as Scotland.

"The Welsh Liberal Democrats believe Wales deserves a stronger devolution settlement, starting with the powers that will make the biggest difference to people's lives and our economy: greater borrowing and taxation powers, the devolution of rail and the Crown Estate, and a fair funding formula for Wales."
