Commenting on the news that the Special Purpose Committee to identify gaps in the reports published by the UK Covid-19 Inquiry was passed in the Senedd today, Leader of the Welsh Conservatives, Andrew RT Davies MS said:
“For a number of years, the Welsh Conservatives have been calling for an independent Welsh Covid Inquiry and thanks to our persistence on the matter, we have secured the Senedd’s support to ensure this happens.
“Mark Drakeford and the Labour Government diverged from the UK Government’s decisions during the pandemic and so should accept scrutiny of the different path taken.
“The Welsh Conservatives have been pushing for an Independent Welsh Covid inquiry, to cover all bases and ensure that bereaved families get the answers they deserve. We will not give up on our calls to ensure this takes place.”
