David Cameron's 'attraction' to more devolution powers 30 September 2013 Last updated at 07:27 Mr Cameron said one of the "real issues" was the economic recovery of Wales Prime Minister David Cameron has denied a claim the Conservatives are blocking further devolution to Wales. He told BBC Wales he was attracted by the idea of the Welsh government being able to raise some of its budget. Almost a year ago the Silk Commission set up by the UK government said ministers in Cardiff should be given the power to vary some tax rates. Liberal Democrat deputy prime minister Nick Clegg claimed a response had been delayed by the Conservatives. I think the real issues in Wales right now are how we build an economic recovery End Quote David Cameron Prime Minister The prime minister described a "bubble in Cardiff" as being completely obsessed with assembly powers but voters had other priorities such as the recovery of the economy and the health service. Real issues In an interview with BBC Wales as the Conservatives hold their annual conference in Manchester, Mr Cameron said: "The idea that Welsh representatives should be thinking about how they raise money as well as just how they spend money, as someone who is a Conservative and someone who believes we need to be careful with public money, with taxpayers' money, that has a lot of attraction. I think the real issues in Wales right now are how we build an economic recovery. But of course this issue of powers we need to settle as well. The bubble in Cardiff is completely obsessed by powers whereas the people in Wales, actually, what they want to know is results. The Welsh government has been asked to comment. Earlier this month Mr Clegg said if he had been prime minister he would have already agreed to give the Welsh government the power to vary tax rates.
