NDM7708 Lesley Griffiths
(Wrexham)
To propose that the
Senedd:
1. Agrees that the UK
Government approach to the Levelling Up Fund and broader EU successor funding
does not guarantee that Wales will not be a penny worse off and represents a
clear assault on Welsh devolution.
2. Agrees that the
pilot UK Community Renewal Fund for 2021-22 represents a significant cut in
funding for Wales as the Welsh Government would have received at least £375m
each year in the form of EU structural funds.
3. Notes that this cut
in available funding threatens jobs and services in Wales.
4. Shares the concerns
raised by the Welsh Local Government Association regarding the level of
available funding and the process for delivery expressed in its evidence to the
Welsh Affairs Committee regarding the UK Government’s proposals.
5. Notes the
independent UK Industrial Strategy Council’s description of the UK Government’s
Levelling Up plans as ‘centrally controlled funding pots thinly spread across a
range of initiatives’.
6. Agrees that the UK
Government has neither presented nor won a mandate to cut EU successor funds
for Wales or unilaterally undermine Welsh devolution.
7. Believes that
decisions about Wales should be taken in Wales and that the UK Government must
stop using the Internal Market Act to diminish Wales’s say.
