FOCUS ON THE PEOPLE'S PRIORITIES

Only a Welsh Conservative Government will: 

  • Say NO to more devolved powers for the Senedd.
  • Protect women only spaces in all public sector organisations under control of Senedd – such as schools, hospital wards and leisure centres.
  • Match the childcare offer available in England. The offer of up to 30 hours of free childcare per week to working parents of children aged nine months to 4 years of age. At present, only parents of 3 and 4 year olds in Wales can access 30 hours of free childcare.
  • The Welsh Conservatives have announced plans to pay grandparents up to £4,800 per year to provide childcare for their grandchildren. Under the plans, parents will be able to choose between nominating a grandparent to look after their child, or to place their child in a traditional childcare placement with a registered childcare provider. Nominated grandparents will receive a Grandparent Childcare Payment of £200 per child per month for up to two children in a single household.
  • Call on the UK Government to protect the triple lock on State Pensions.
  • Call on the UK Government to increase investment in securing UK borders at Welsh ports to prevent illegal immigration.
