Pay Up, Plaid Tells Treasury
Swansea Plaid Cymru has backed a call for Wales to get a fair share of funding for railways.
Plaid's Gower spokesman John Davies said that the UK Treasury's current policy was a cynical move that starves Wales of investment desperately needed to improve our country's transport services.
"By arrogantly defining the huge £71 billion HS2 rail link as an 'England and Wales' project, the UK government is dodging its obligation to ensure comparable investment in Wales", said Mr Davies, who contested the Gower constituency in the Welsh election in 2021.
"Now there is all-party backing in the Welsh parliament for Plaid Cymru's stand on this issue, the Treasury should release the money Wales needs forthwith."
