Responding to the report by the Independent Commission on the Constitutional Future of Wales, Darren Millar MS, Shadow Minister for the Constitution, said:

“This constitutional navel gazing is a distraction from the issues which matter to the people of Wales.

“While there are some interesting aspects of this report which will require further consideration, the work of the Commission will not make ambulances arrive any faster, properly staff our schools or support Welsh businesses.

“Instead of the constant power grab by Welsh Labour Ministers, the Welsh Government should have a laser-like focus on getting to grips with unacceptable waiting lists, improving educational outcomes and better pay for hardworking people in Wales.”

He added:

“The money spent on this report would have been better spent on hard-pressed public services in Wales.”
