Lib Dems: Welsh budget must help schools

Neither of the parties will say exactly what deal they'll try to reach with the Welsh Government but say there's more that they agree on than disagree. Lib Dem leader Kirsty Williams says:

Welsh Liberal Democrats have consistently said that we will not support a budget that does not make progress towards closing the funding gap with England – starting with the poorest children who need the help the most. Nor will we vote for a budget that neglects the need to tackle unemployment and boost the economy by incentivising employers to take on new trainees. The growing crisis within our NHS is an issue that we will also want to deal with.

– Kirsty Williams AM, Welsh Liberal Democrat Leader
