Labour shows true 'anti-devolution' colours says Plaid

Plaid Cymru has joined criticism of the Shadow Welsh Secretary's comments on plans to transfer tax-varying powers to the Welsh Government. Hywel Williams MP says Labour has shown its 'true colours as the anti-devolution party.'

Even the Prime Minister used PMQs to state that he is in favour of taking these further steps to secure the transfer of income tax powers to the National Assembly.
