Welsh Government minister attacks UK Government for 'destructive' attitude to devolution

A Welsh Government minister has attacked the UK Government for trying to undermine devolution.

Mick Antoniw, the Welsh Government’s Counsel General and Minister for the Constitution, has criticised the UK Government’s "unilateral and destructive approach" to devolution. The people of Wales first voted for Wales to have more control of its own affairs in 1999 and have since backed further powers in a follow-up referendum.

Mr Antoniw's criticism comes ahead of a speech to the Constitutional and Administrative Law Bar Association’s annual conference, which is taking place 24 years to the day since the National Assembly for Wales – now the Welsh Parliament – came into existence.
