Labour’s Shadow Secretary of State for Wales responds to Chancellor’s Budget

Jo Stevens MP, Labour’s Shadow Secretary of State for Wales responding to the Budget, said:

“With this budget, the Tory government had the opportunity to unlock Wales’s promise and potential, but instead chose simply to paper over the cracks of their 13 years of economic failure.

“With our mission to secure the highest sustained growth in the G7, a UK Labour government will work hand-in-hand with the Welsh Labour government to create good jobs, productivity and growth right across Wales.”

“Instead of managed decline under the Tories, we deserve a UK government with ambition that will spread power, wealth and opportunity to every part of our nation. That is what Labour will deliver.”
