The First Minister’s donations undermine his climate credibility
Responding to her questions to Labour’s Cabinet Secretary for Climate Change, Janet Finch-Saunders MS, Shadow Climate Change Minister, said:
“Only last year the Senedd Climate Change Committee branded the Welsh Government efforts on environmental governance as “inadequate”, yet the First Minister’s actions show that he is not taking the crisis seriously.
“By asking NRW to ease restrictions on the individual who donated more than £200,000 to his leadership campaign, the same individual with a criminal record for environmental crimes, Vaughan Gething has sold any credibility this Labour Government had on the nature crisis down the Gwent.
“The Cabinet Secretary refused to answer for his leader’s shortcomings, this is why the Welsh Conservatives continue to call for an independent inquiry into the donations to remove the current stink surrounding Welsh politics.”
