Amendment 1 Heledd Fychan (South Wales Central)
Add as new points at end of motion:
Notes that a third of children in Wales were living in poverty between 2019 and 2022, but regrets that this statistic predates the current cost-of-living crisis, meaning that the actual child poverty figure is likely to be far higher.
