Responding to Rachel Reeves’ Spring Statement, Andrew RT Davies MS, Senedd Member for South Wales Central and former Leader of the Welsh Conservatives, said:

“Nine months into their tenure, Labour have run out of other people’s money.

“This Statement is the natural conclusion of Labour’s Autumn Budget, which torpedoed the British economy and will have far reaching consequences, not just for public services, but also for household budgets across the country.

“People in Wales need a Chancellor that drives growth, targets economic unfairness and improves living standards.”
