Proceeding contribution from Geraint Davies (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 31 March 2014. It occurred during Debate on bill on Wales Bill.
Wales Bill
Does my hon. Friend agree that there is a danger of moving the focus from Wales having its fair share of capital investment—for example, on transport, where there is £5,000 per head for transport in London and about £500 in Wales—so that as soon as we get more borrowing powers the Government will say, “You pay for the valleys line electrification—you can borrow the money”? Is this not an excuse for making Wales pay out more from less?
