Welsh independence to be considered by commission

14 hours ago

Welsh independence is one of the options to be considered by a commission examining Wales' future relationship with the rest of the UK.

The new body, set up by Welsh Labour ministers, will look at how the current system of powers resting in Cardiff and London could change.

Co-chairwoman Prof Laura McAllister said "everything" was on the table.

The Conservatives accused ministers of wasting time and resources, but said they would take part.

Prof McAllister will lead the new Independent Constitutional Commission alongside ex-Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams.

They do not believe Wales' current constitutional arrangements are sustainable, and plan to talk to people around the country.

First Minister Mark Drakeford said nothing is ruled out from the commission, and anyone with an opinion can make their case.
