Leanne Wood: Tax cut not likely under Plaid Cymru

Plaid Cymru is unlikely to make cutting the top rate of tax one of its policies if Wales ever receives income tax varying powers, its leader has said.

Leanne Wood spoke against a call by former Plaid MP Adam Price during the party's spring conference to consider the idea as a way of creating jobs.

Ms Wood said income tax powers for Wales were many years away.

She doubted many Plaid Cymru delegates would agree with Mr Price but added it was an "interesting debate".

She was speaking to Vaughan Roderick on Radio Wales' Sunday Supplement programme.
