Tories plan ministers' pay cut to fund youth schemes

The Conservatives will introduce a 10% pay cut for Welsh government ministers if they win May's assembly election.

Pay for the first minister is due to rise to £140,000 and for other ministers £100,000.

Welsh leader Andrew RT Davies told BBC Wales his planned cut would save around £250,000 over five years to be spent on measures to boost young people's involvement in politics.

He said Welsh Labour were wrong to scrap funding for the Funky Dragon youth parliament project, and claimed his party was "putting our money where our mouths are".
