Why does Wales need more powers?

This is a question we receive a lot, and it's a fair one.


It's not about having powers for the sake of it. It's about making sure our nation has the tools it needs to tackle the challenges we face.


So what powers are Plaid Cymru calling for, and what difference could they make?


๐Ÿš” Policing and justice: Powers over policing and justice would make it easier to join up the work of the police, courts and services such as health, housing and education to prevent crime and reduce reoffending.


๐Ÿš† Railways: More control over our rail infrastructure and investment would give us greater power to improve services, make trains more reliable and build better connections between communities across Wales!


๐ŸŒŠ Our natural resources: Control over the Crown Estate in Wales would enable us to reinvest profits in our communities just like Scotland does, and bring down energy bills.


๐Ÿ’ท Fair funding: A fair funding settlement and more financial flexibility would mean more scope to invest in the NHS and the other vital public services we rely on, and enable us to plan for the future and respond to changing needs.


Not powers for power's sake, but tools to improve public services, strengthen our economy and deliver better outcomes for communities across Wales ๐Ÿด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ท๓ ฌ๓ ณ๓ ฟ

HAVE YOU HEARD ?

Wales STILL doesn’t control our own natural resources.


Labour blocked it despite all councils in Wales being in favour.


Reform won’t even bother fighting.


Plaid Cymru is the only party that will never give up on fighting for Wales.


Vote Plaid Cymru on Thursday 7th May 2026.

URGE YOUR MP TO SUPPORT WALES

On Monday 24th February 2025, the Crown Estate Bill will be debated in the House of Commons at its Report Stage.


Llinos Medi MP’s amendment is the last chance to demand fairness for Wales in this Bill.


Urge your MP to support Plaid Cymru’s amendment.

Draft letter:


Dear MP,


I am writing to urge you to support the amendment to the Crown Estate Bill, tabled by Llinos Medi MP, which will be debated on 24th February.


This amendment calls for the transfer of Crown Estate management in Wales to the Welsh Government within two years, allowing Wales to control the profits from its own natural resources. Currently, millions of pounds generated in Wales go directly to the UK Treasury, leaving our communities with no benefit. In contrast, Scotland has seen significant benefits since the devolution of its Crown Estate.


The devolution of the Crown Estate has widespread support in Wales, and MPs should represent the interests of their constituents. I urge you to sign the amendment and support Wales' right to control its own resources.

 

Kind regards,


[Your name]
