This is a historic moment for our Senedd. The people of Wales will now get to see in real terms, on their payslip, the importance of this Senedd and of Welsh Government, and how our institutions have a direct effect on the everyday lives of Wales’ people.

We as a Senedd are strengthening, and by doing so we as a nation are strengthening and maturing as well. Let us use these new taxation powers to create a tax system that will be fairer for the people of Wales than what we have at present.
