Guto Bebb MP welcomed the latest unemployment figures for Aberconwy, published today which show a significant fall in the number of people claiming Job Seekers Allowance.

Ysgrifennaf hyn o lith tra mod i’n hedfan i Washington unwaith eto. Roeddwn yn ddigon ffodus i gael fy newis yn rhan o ddirprwyaeth o wyth, chwe AS a dau Arglwydd, i fynd am drafodaeth gydag Aelodau’r Gyngres, cynrychiolwyr Llywodraethwyr y Dalaith a Maer dinasoedd mawrion o’r UD.

I write this as I am flying to Washington once again.  I was fortunate enough to be selected to be part of an eight strong delegation, six MPs and two Peers, to attend talks with Members of Congress and representatives of State Governors and the Mayors of substantial cities in the US.

It has emerged that Labour-run Rhondda Cynon Taff Council, which last week claimed it was facing financial ‘Armageddon’ following cuts of 3.3% to its budget, spent over £3million on redundancy payments to staff last year, including £631,000 to five top executives.
