The Dyfed Assembly today passed their regional budget as part of the devolution arrangements.

The Assembly, backed by the Social Party and the Labour Party passed the bill today, which launches multiple consultations into large scale projects.

Here are the budget proposals:

The Dyfed Chief Minister (Jago Lander) called this a "big day for Dyfed". He also announced the opening of a consultation into a South Dyfed Rail Link:

"The passing of this budget is a big day for Dyfed. We can show that we can grow economically and invest in our public services. We will open a consultation with a draft proposal into a South Dyfed Rail Link, as well as Health and Social Care plans.

I look forward to working for the people"

The rest of Gwlad Emrys is yet to vote on regional Parliaments, partly due to the rebuilding required after the ARP-Sawhists war.

The first proposals for the consultations are expected in the next few weeks.
