Bethan Jenkins AC/AM South Wales West

Plaid Cymru Assembly Member for South Wales West, Bethan Jenkins AM this afternoon welcomed the resignation of Peter Hain from the British Cabinet.

Following the announcement, Neath-based Ms Jenkins said.

“Peter Hain has done the honourable thing in resigning. His position has become untenable, especially following the referral of the investigation to the police. Looking to the future, the Labour party as an institution has to reflect and ask itself whether its obsession with big business is healthy.”

Plaid Cymru Parliamentary candidate for Neath Alun Llywelyn added:

“The involvement of the police is distressing on a personal basis. An opportunity has now arisen for a number of outstanding questions to be answered.”
