Reform UK Senedd member Cai Parry Jones said his party “would stop using Welsh people as cash cows”, and would build an M4 relief road, scrap family farm tax, and “reward working people” by raising tax-free personal allowance to £15,000.
Welsh Conservative Senedd leader Darren Millar called for the UK government to make money available for major road projects, including an M4 relief road, and more defence spending in Wales, calling for a “pro-union Budget deal”.
David Chadwick, Welsh Liberal Democrat MP, said his party wanted a Budget that gave Welsh families “some much-needed breathing space”, calling for a 10p cut in fuel duty, a guarantee to bring down energy bills, and a temporary VAT cut for hospitality.
The Budget comes ahead of the first substantive meeting between the prime minister and the first minister at the National Economic Council later this week, where devolution is expected to be discussed.
A UK government spokesperson said: “The chancellor is focused on giving households and businesses a bit of breathing space where we can. That’s why we have removed VAT from electricity bills, extended the 5p fuel duty cut and frozen rail fares.”
