The PBR confirmed £500million in new money for Wales - money that would not be coming if the Tories were in power. There is a further £13million new money announced for the first time as a result of Barnett consequentials. Wales' budget next year will be £15.5 billion, more than double what it was in 1999. How can the Nats say we would be able to raise that kind of money from just taxing Welsh people if we were cut off from the rest of the UK? This was a great PBR for Wales, at a difficult economic time.
