Prime Minister Andy Burnham will tell Welsh First Minister Rhun ap Iorwerth that he wants to put power back in the hands of the Welsh people when the pair meet at the National Economic Council in Glasgow.
Writing before the meeting, Burnham said he wanted to see good jobs in every community, reindustrialisation across Wales and good growth in every Welsh postcode.
Offer to devolve employment support
Burnham said he would extend an offer to devolve more employment support, on the condition that it reaches down into Wales' regions and communities.
He said the two governments would explore how to improve city-region deals to encourage growth and build infrastructure. He added that Number 10 North, set up to be the nerve centre of devolving power, would be at the disposal of the Welsh Government to tear down any barriers they face.
Burnham said devolution cannot stop at Cardiff Bay, and that he wants power in the hands of people and communities, like the workers and apprentices at Port Talbot steelworks.
Budget measures for Wales
Burnham said the Budget this week announced additional support on energy bills and reducing the cost of food. He said thousands of low-income pensioners in Wales will pay less tax, or none at all, on their income.
He said increasing the National Living Wage will benefit workers across Wales, and that plans to back growth and investment in defence, energy and transport will support thousands of jobs and put Wales at the heart of national security, the energy transition and reindustrialisation. An extra £450 million will fund public services, such as the NHS.
Burnham said he wanted to do politics differently, with place first, not party first, and called for pushing power out of Westminster and Cardiff Bay and into the hands of the Welsh people.
