UK Government choices are costing thousands of jobs in Wales according to a Welsh Government minister.
Addressing the Senedd Wales' economy minister Vaughan Gething attacked the UK Government over their handling of funds that Wales used to receive from the EU in the Shared Prosperity Fund.
He told the Welsh Parliament: "With replacement EU funding, not only does the Shared Prosperity Fund leave us £1.1bn short compared to EU Structural and Rural funds, but the UK Government has pressed ahead with an approach that bypasses the Welsh Government and the Senedd, excludes key growth sectors and partners including universities, colleges and the voluntary sector, prevents high-impact strategic projects and puts unacceptable demands on our local authorities."
