Leaving the EU would deliver "real devolution"

:00:13.:00:14.

to the National Assembly, according to Ukip's leader in Wales.

:00:15.:00:19.

Nathan Gill was addressing the party's spring conference

:00:20.:00:21.

in Llandudno, where Nigel Farage told UKIP members they were poised

:00:22.:00:23.

to make a breakthrough in the Assembly elections in May.

:00:24.:00:26.

From Llandudno, Daniel Davies reports.

:00:27.:00:31.

"Say no to Europe," but these protesters outside the conference

:00:32.:00:37.

Well, thank you very much, good morning, everybody.

:00:38.:00:45.

Gearing up for the Assembly election in May, and the EU

:00:46.:00:48.

I am certainly optimistic here in Wales that we are going to do

:00:49.:00:53.

very well and make a breakthrough, and I think that certainly in Wales

:00:54.:00:56.

and London and Scotland, we will once again do what we did

:00:57.:00:59.

We will surprise the commentators by just how many votes we take

:01:00.:01:03.

Ukip's leader in Wales said leaving the EU would give

:01:04.:01:09.

We can help our farmers farm in the way that they have

:01:10.:01:18.

for centuries, and make the produce, our produce, some of the best

:01:19.:01:21.

We can protect our industries, tap into our natural wealth

:01:22.:01:24.

and resources, and put power back into the hands of the people.

:01:25.:01:31.

Pro-EU campaigners point out that until recently,

:01:32.:01:33.

Traditionally, we have found it very difficult to get our fair share

:01:34.:01:40.

of money from the Treasury, we have found it very difficult

:01:41.:01:43.

to devolve powers from Westminster to Wales, so this is all nonsense

:01:44.:01:47.

and nothing to do with the referendum.

:01:48.:01:51.

They are offering false and empty promises.

:01:52.:01:54.

At the other end of town, Eurosceptic Welsh Tory MP

:01:55.:01:57.

David Jones, sharing a platform with Ukip politicians.

:01:58.:02:02.

Anyone who tells you Wales couldn't manage without the EU is talking

:02:03.:02:05.

Not the USSR or Isis - the EU's fishing policy.

:02:06.:02:12.

People here clearly made up their mind about

:02:13.:02:15.

But it's the undecideds outside this conference hall that Ukip need

:02:16.:02:21.

to persuade if they are going to land that prized catch of a vote

:02:22.:02:24.

Daniel Davies, BBC Wales Today, in Llandudno.

:02:25.:02:32.

The Equality and Human Rights Commission in Wales has criticised

:02:33.:02:34.

the way changes to the state pension age have been made.

:02:35.:02:38.

Thousands of women who've retired or are approaching retirement age

:02:39.:02:40.

claim they've received little or no notice that they'll have to wait

:02:41.:02:44.

But the Department for Work and Pensions says letters were sent

:02:45.:02:50.

to all the affected women letting them know of the changes.

:02:51.:02:55.

What has been a serious problem is the failure to communicate

:02:56.:02:58.

properly with women to let them know the situation,

:02:59.:03:01.

so I am aware of the fact that women who have planned their retirement

:03:02.:03:05.

for a very long time have suddenly discovered that actually,

:03:06.:03:08.

they are not going to get their pension as quickly

:03:09.:03:11.

as they thought, and have had to carry on working longer,

:03:12.:03:13.

and in some instances I understand women have had to go back to work,

:03:14.:03:17.

so this really is a failure on the part of the Government,

:03:18.:03:20.

and although we support the change, it should have

:03:21.:03:22.

There'll be more on this story tomorrow on Sunday Politics Wales

:03:23.:03:26.

The Welsh Conservatives say people with gluten intolerance should be

:03:27.:03:33.

given an annual grant instead of NHS prescriptions.

:03:34.:03:37.

People with conditions including coeliac disease can currently get

:03:38.:03:40.

The Welsh Government says research suggests prescriptions help patients

:03:41.:03:44.

Football, and Cardiff City beat play-off rivals Preston 2-1 at home.

:03:45.:03:53.

Newport County won 1-0 against Mansfield, while Wrexham

:03:54.:03:55.

only managed a goalless draw against Macclesfield.

:03:56.:04:05.

Rugby, and the Wales captain Sam Warburton wants to see

:04:06.:04:07.

an improvement in Wales' performance, when they take

:04:08.:04:09.

on England in a fortnight, after beating France

:04:10.:04:11.

England have won their opening two Six Nations games,

:04:12.:04:14.

and are currently beating Ireland at Twickenham 6-3.

:04:15.:04:25.

It's one of my favourite places to play away from home,

:04:26.:04:32.

Twickenham - fantastic atmosphere, the crowd are great,

:04:33.:04:34.

but certainly one of the toughest as well, so we definitely have

:04:35.:04:36.

England are an improved side, they'll be extremely motivated

:04:37.:04:40.

to play us in two weeks' time, so that's going to be

:04:41.:04:43.

The weather forecast - It'll be a dry and quiet night,

:04:44.:04:47.

with a widespread frost towards dawn.

:04:48.:04:48.

Sunday will start cold but sunny for most.

:04:49.:04:50.

There'll be patchy cloud through the day, but staying dry

:04:51.:04:52.

I'll be back tomorrow evening at 6:50pm.

:04:53.:04:58.
