David Cameron backs devolution tax powers

Prime Minister David Cameron has denied a claim the Conservatives are blocking further devolution to Wales.

He told BBC Wales he was attracted by the idea of the Welsh government being able to raise some of its budget.

Almost a year ago the Silk Commission set up by the UK government said ministers in Cardiff should be given the power to vary some tax rates.

Liberal Democrat deputy prime minister Nick Clegg claimed a response had been delayed by the Conservatives.
