Rob Phillips takes your calls on raising taxes to pay for welfare changes, playing a musical instrument, and bank notes.

Should taxes be raised to pay for welfare changes? Should children have the opportunity to play an instrument? And what should be on our bank notes?

A senior minister says there will be 'a cost’ at budget after changes to the welfare bill, with the initial £5 billion savings target unlikely to be reached. So, would you be happy to pay more tax to make up for the shortfall in welfare?

Free music lessons can be offered in Powys for the first time in decades thanks to Welsh Government funding. So, do you think it's important that our children have the opportunity to learn to play an instrument? Did you get that chance? And if so, what did you learn?

And the Bank of England wants your help to redesign our bank notes! What would you like to see on your bank note?
