More flexible tax powers on offer for Wales
The Welsh Secretary says the UK government will rewrite its plans for more devolution in order to give Wales the prospect of more control over income tax than had previously been offered.
Speaking at the Conservative party conference in Birmingham, Stephen Crabb said he will remove the proposed controversial 'lockstep' system for varying income tax rates.
Under that system, any change in one band of tax would have an equal impact on other bands.
If Wales were to get these powers, the government could vary any band of tax without that restriction.
He said he will ask tomorrow for the Wales Bill to be amended to remove restrictions on income tax powers.
