"Madam President, I agree with the premise of Mr Pallone’s report and I thank him for all his hard work. I believe that there is a lot of helpful analysis of how to manage public finances which I hope my Welsh Regional Government will pay some attention to. In the current climate of fiscal consolidation and enhanced scrutiny of all public expenditure, governments at all levels should be looking very hard at what they can justify putting public money into.
While this report raises a point about spending on expensive military equipment, I would ask that my own Welsh Government think long and hard about spending tens of millions of pounds of taxpayers’ money on purchasing their local Cardiff airport. When a private company that successfully runs airports in Stockholm, London and Orlando cannot make it operate sustainably, how can the Welsh Government and their civil servants think they can do a better job using taxpayers’ money? I am not entirely sure how purchasing a poorly-performing airport is going to prove a wise investment of public funds. As this report suggests, instead of pet government projects wasting scarce public funds, we should instead be spending this limited public money wisely and investing in jobs and growth for our future."@en1
