Wales is to be offered more flexible income tax powers after a U-turn by

:00:00.:00:30.

the UK government. A controversial restriction is said to have been

:00:31.:00:32.

removed. Four nations, two flags. The saltire

:00:33.:00:39.

and the Union Jack were the only flags offered to the debate on the

:00:40.:00:44.

United Kingdom, a symbol of the challenge Wales faces. A challenge

:00:45.:00:47.

also for the new Secretary of State in what he called a new century of

:00:48.:00:54.

devolution. I have always said that those powers should be far reaching

:00:55.:00:59.

and flexible. I am committed to removing obstacles to them being

:01:00.:01:02.

used effectively, which is why tomorrow I will be asking my

:01:03.:01:06.

colleagues for their agreement to amend the Wales Bill, to remove the

:01:07.:01:12.

lock step on how those income tax powers are used. Under the lockstep,

if the Welsh Government wanted to increase the top rate of tax by 1

:01:20.:01:24.

pains it would have to do the same for the other rates. Today's change

:01:25.:01:30.

means that ministers could choose to raise or lower offers independently

:01:31.:01:34.

of the other rates. It is events elsewhere that have overshadowed the

:01:35.:01:38.

opening day of this conference, with the defection of another

:01:39.:01:41.

Conservative MP to the UK Independence Party. Would others

:01:42.:01:48.

follow? Davy Jones says he was tapped up by UKIP and told them to

:01:49.:01:52.

take a hike. The Welsh Conservatives hope the UKIP argument will hold and

:01:53.:01:57.

allow them to focus on a model of devolution that makes clear where

Minister will meet with Northern Ireland and Scotland's First

the nation. During an award-winning career as a

a doctor and a poet. He kept South Wales close, with his life here

influencing his work. He shared much of that life with his wife. Her

:03:15.:03:21.

death in a car accident in 2005 was a tragedy he found hard to

:03:22.:03:24.

comprehend. In the end, he did what came naturally and wrote about it.

:03:25.:03:30.

The result became the Wales Book of the year, and he also received a CBE
