Responding to Ed Miliband’s speech to the Welsh Labour conference, Janet Finch-Saunders AM, Shadow Minister for Local Government, said:
“It’s a bit rich for the Labour leader to talk of families struggling with tax bills, when it was the Welsh Labour Government who refused to pass on the freeze in Council Tax.
“Welsh Labour Ministers received almost £40million from the Conservative-led UK Coalition to freeze Council Tax in Wales but decided to spend it on their own pet projects instead of helping hard-pressed families and pensioners.
“Welsh Conservatives are committed to freezing Council Tax to deliver value for money for hardworking taxpayers.”
