Nick Clegg: Welsh under-funding solution needed

Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg says that Wales needed its own "bespoke" solution to address under-funding of the Welsh government.

The three largest UK parties have pledged not to reform the Barnett formula, which distributes money around the UK nations and is widely seen to benefit Scotland.

The Liberal Democrats have proposed a 'top-up' system to address concerns Wales is left short-changed.

Mr Clegg also said that it should not be for him to decide whether there should be an increase in the number of assembly members.

He spoke to BBC Wales' parliamentary correspondent David Cornock.
