So what does the Budget mean for Wales?

There was one brief reference to Wales in the chancellor's speech: "In Wales we are honouring our commitments to a funding floor, and to more devolution there, and investing in important new infrastructure like the M4 and the Great Western line"

The official more detail: "The government is committed to taking forward the St David's Day agreement for Wales to the timetable set out in the command paper. This includes implementing a funding floor at the spending review in the expectation that the Welsh government holds a referendum on the devolution of income tax."

It adds: "The devolution of Air Passenger Duty (APD) to the Welsh assembly will continue to be considered alongside the review of options to mitigate the impacts of APD devolution on regional airports. The government is publishing a discussion paper on regional airports alongside the Budget, setting out how some of the options could work."

The UK government also claims that Wales grew faster per head than London and the UK average in 2013.

Welsh Secretary Stephen Crabb tweeted: "A landmark one nation Budget. Living wage, lower business taxes & deficit falling - a strong foundation for Wales to prosper."

I had hoped to provide a breakdown of Welsh figures for the national living wage and the effect of changes to tax credits on the 238,000 families who receive them in Wales but I'm told the figures are not available.
