Welsh Luxury

First Minister Rhodri Morgan is concerned about the "disgrace and humiliation" if the spending priorities of the £13.8bn Welsh Assembly budget cannot be agreed by early December.

"What are they going to say in the House of Commons when we are asking for more legislative powers if we've had to sub-contract the process of setting the budget because the politicians can't make a fist of it?"

It is a luxury denied to the English.
