AM ‘must clarify his comments’

MID and West AM Helen Mary Jones has called for Llanelli AM Lee Waters to explain himself in The Senedd after comments on the Labour-led Welsh Government’s handling of the economy.

The Deputy Minister for the Economy was reported as saying: “For 20 years we’ve pretended we know what we’re doing on the economy - and the truth is we don’t really know what we’re doing on the economy.”

Plaid Cymru Mid and West AM Helen Mary Jones, Shadow Health Minister said: “I think the Deputy Minister has got to explain himself both for what he means by his comments, and also what role he intends to play to make sure that the Welsh Government does work out what it’s doing.

“Lee Waters has to account for his comments because I know his constituents in Llanelli will not be reassured unless he’s prepared to clarify them.”
