	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/02/2019 answer text <p>Leaving the EU with a deal remains the Government’s top priority. That has not changed. We are working closely with the devolved administrations to ensure that we build a stronger and fairer economy for the future, with 193,000 more people in employment in Wales since 2010. At the most recent Budget, the Welsh Government benefitted from a £550 million boost to its budget, a real terms increase up to 2020. The government is investing over £735m in city and growth deals. The government is also supporting the Welsh economy by cutting corporation tax to 17% in 2020, abolishing tolls on the Severn Crossings and investing in Wales’s infrastructure. This will support the Welsh economy to grow and create jobs, supporting hard-working people with greater prospects and living standards as we leave the EU.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency South West Norfolk answering member printed Elizabeth Truss question first answered 19/02/2019 15:50:44 answering member 4097 label Biography information for Elizabeth Truss
