Sioned Williams MS, Plaid Cymru’s spokesperson for Social Justice and Equalities, said:
“The news of the additional funding to support people with the cost of living crisis is welcome. It is especially good to see that more money will be provided for more people in need through the Discretionary Assistance Fund and through the Winter Fuel Support Scheme, which Plaid Cymru has been calling for.
“However, the broad brush approach of giving £150 to all households in Council Tax Bands A-D is not the best way to ensure those who are in the most need, those who will be facing the choice between heating and eating, receive the most help.”
