Plaid Cymru pledges £20 child benefit rise and calls for HS2 funding for Wales

Wales should get an extra £4bn in funding from the HS2 rail project and more control over its natural resources, Plaid Cymru's leader has said.

Party leader Rhun ap Iorwerth called for "fair" funding for Wales and a £20 a week increase to child benefit in its manifesto for the general election.

He backed a "fairer" tax system with increased windfall taxes on energy companies at the manifesto launch in Cardiff, and for powers over policing to be handed to the Senedd.

Mr ap Iorwerth appealed to Welsh voters not to give Labour a "free pass" in the general election.
