威尔士首席部长卢恩·阿普·约沃思在普卢德党年会前夕向首相安迪·伯纳姆发出正式呼吁，要求达成"新协议"以解决威尔士的权力下放问题12。约沃思在一封2000字的信函中提出了具体诉求，包括转移警务司法、铁路基础设施和皇家庄园的权力，并要求将威尔士置于与苏格兰平等的地位2。约沃思在信中表示："不要把威尔士当作英格兰的一个地区，而要当作一个国家"2。
这次发声是约沃思赢得塞内德选举后首次在普卢德党年会上讲话1。约沃思声称自己是"塞内德中唯一真正相信威尔士的党领导人"1。伯纳姆承诺将尊重威尔士的地位，表示"不会破坏威尔士作为一个国家的地位……不会绕过我们的参议院"2。根据计划，伯纳姆预期将在10月末与威尔士、苏格兰和北爱尔兰的三位首席部长会面，就权力下放事宜进行讨论2。
Welsh First Minister Rhun ap Iorwerth has called on Prime Minister Andy Burnham to negotiate a "new deal" aimed at addressing what he describes as historical injustices in Wales's financial and constitutional arrangements.2 In a 2,000-word letter delivered on Thursday, Iorwerth demanded the transfer of powers over policing and justice, railway infrastructure, and royal estates to Welsh authorities.2 He stressed that Wales should be treated as a nation equal to Scotland rather than as a region of England, stating: "Do not treat Wales as a region of England, but treat us as a country."2
The First Minister made these demands ahead of the Plaid Cymru annual conference, in his first address to the party's assembly following his election victory.1 He characterized himself as "the only party leader in the Senedd who truly believes in Wales."1 Burnham has indicated he expects to meet with the three leaders of Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland by the end of October.2 The Prime Minister has committed that he will not undermine Wales's status as a nation and will not bypass the Senedd in devolution discussions.2
