The Welsh First Minister has declined to back the UK Government’s benefits cuts, telling members of the Senedd she will “reserve” her position.

Eluned Morgan, the leader of the Welsh Labour government, has said she is still waiting to find out what the impact of welfare cuts would have on Wales, despite having written to the Work and Pensions Secretary several weeks ago.
