Welsh EU funding: Government deceit symptomatic of Brexit

Responding to revelations that the government had always intended for EU funds to be allocated by Westminster rather than the Welsh Government after Brexit, Liz Saville Roberts MP, member of the UK Trade and Business Commission, said:

“This revelation is symptomatic of the deceits on which the Brexit referendum was won and  how the UK Government has conducted itself ever since. 

“Brexit has meant less investment for Wales, more red tape and labour shortages for Welsh businesses and new trade deals which will undermine Welsh farmers. It has allowed the Tories to wrest control from the Welsh government and the people of Wales.”
