Plaid Cymru will launch a “transformational” payment to tackle the “national stain” of child poverty if it leads the next Welsh government, the party leader has announced.

Rhun ap Iorwerth said his party would “draw on the experience in Scotland” and “begin the process of implementing a child payment in Wales”.
