Mike Hedges (Swansea East)
Jocelyn Davies (South Wales East)
Alun Ffred Jones (Arfon)
Peter Black (South Wales West)
To propose that the National Assembly for Wales:
1. Believes that as long as the Barnett
formula continues then expenditure on developments that only
benefit England, such as HS2, should produce the full Barnett
consequential for Wales; and
2. Further believes that, when the UK
Government and Welsh Government are in dispute over whether
expenditure should produce a Barnett consequential for Wales, there
is a need for an independent body to arbitrate.
