A Finance Committee report published called for “urgent changes” to address the cost-of-living crisis, to make the issue a “higher priority” ahead of a vote on Tuesday on the Welsh Government’s spending plans.

Tuesday’s Senedd vote on the Welsh Government’s budget may lead to a defeat for the Welsh Government and will result in revisions being made ahead of a vote on the final budget in March.

Commenting, Shadow Cabinet Secretary for Finance, Sam Rowlands MS said:

Labour’s woeful budget will not fix a broken Wales. It must be voted down.

The Budget lacks long-term planning and it’s clear they have abdicated responsibility to the most vulnerable. Labour deserves to lose this budget vote and must be turfed out of office as soon as possible.

A first step to easing the cost of living for those currently being let down by Labour, would be to restore payments to pensioners by introducing a Welsh Winter Fuel Allowance, paid for by slashing the Welsh Labour Government’s inflated spending on central bureaucracy.

 

Pwyllgor Cyllid y Senedd yn beirniadu cyllideb arfaethedig Llywodraeth Cymru

Mae adroddiad a gyhoeddwyd gan y Pwyllgor Cyllid yn galw am "newidiadau brys" i fynd i'r afael â'r argyfwng costau byw, er mwyn gwneud y mater yn "flaenoriaeth uwch" cyn y bleidlais ddydd Mawrth ar gynlluniau gwariant Llywodraeth Cymru.

Gallai pleidlais y Senedd ddydd Mawrth ar gyllideb Llywodraeth Cymru arwain at drechu Llywodraeth Cymru ynghyd â diwygiadau cyn y bleidlais derfynol ar y gyllideb ym mis Mawrth.

Wrth wneud sylw, dywedodd Ysgrifennydd Cabinet dros Gyllid yr Wrthblaid, Sam Rowlands AS:

Ni fydd cyllideb druenus Llafur yn medru trwsio Cymru sydd wedi torri. Rhaid pleidleisio nawr.

Does gan y Gyllideb ddim cynlluniau hirdymor ac mae'n amlwg eu bod wedi ildio eu cyfrifoldeb i'r rhai mwyaf agored i niwed. Mae Llafur yn haeddu colli'r bleidlais hon ar y gyllideb a rhaid eu taflu  nhw allan cyn gynted â phosib.

Y cam cyntaf tuag at leddfu costau byw i'r rhai sy'n cael eu methu gan Lafur ar hyn o bryd fyddai adfer taliadau i bensiynwyr drwy gyflwyno Lwfans Tanwydd Gaeaf Cymru, wedi’i ariannu drwy dorri gwariant chwyddedig Llywodraeth Llafur Cymru ar fiwrocratiaeth ganolog.
