Plaid Cymru Debate - HS2 consequential funding
NDM8375 Heledd Fychan (South Wales
Central)
To propose that the Senedd:
1. Believes that HS2 is an England-only
project.
2. Regrets the UK Government’s refusal to
provide the full consequential funding Wales should receive as a result of HS2.
3. Equally regrets the UK Labour Party’s
refusal to agree that Wales should be provided with the full consequential
funding.
4. Calls on the UK
Government to right this wrong, and immediately provide the funding Wales is
due, so that we can invest in infrastructure projects that this Senedd wishes
to be prioritised, including the electrification of all railway lines in Wales.
The following amendments were tabled:
Amendment 1 Darren
Millar (Clwyd West)
Delete all after point 1 and replace with:
Believes that Wales should receive
consequential funding.
If amendment 1 is agreed, amendment 2 will
be de-selected.

Griffiths (Wrexham)
