Lib Dems overwhelmingly back Welsh move against regional pay

The Liberal Democrat conference has overwhelmingly opposed the introduction of regional pay rates in the public sector. The Assembly member Eluned Parrott told delegates in Brighton that the idea would suck money out of poor communities and cost the Welsh economy 600 million pounds a year.

Speaking after the vote, Ms Parrott said,
