UK Government is a 'problem' for Wales, says former Archbishop of Canterbury

The former Archbishop of Canterbury, Dr Rowan Williams, has said that the UK Government poses as a "problem" for Wales. The bishop, who is currently co-chairing a commission assessing all options for Wales' future with academic Professor Laura McAllister, was participating in a panel discussion at the National Eisteddfod on Wednesday.

The commission, which was launched following the Senedd elections of last year, will seek views from the public as part of its work. It aims to look at an array of options, including reforming the constitutional framework of the UK and considering "all progressive options to strengthen Welsh democracy".

Speaking to Newyddion S4C, Dr Williams discussed the importance of the commission's work. "The Commission's task is not to decide the future," he told journalist Gwyn Loader. "But to discuss options - such as independence or devolution - those questions are open. From where I stand, more devolution seems most probable."
