Will the First Minister provide an update on the preparatory work that has taken place following the passing of a motion in the Senedd on 3 June 2020 calling for an independent inquiry to be held into the Welsh Government's handling of the COVID-19 pandemic?
Answered by First Minister | Answered on 19/01/2021
Whilst we support establishing an independent inquiry into the handling of the Covid-19 pandemic, Welsh Government maintains that such an inquiry should be UK-wide given that a great deal of the response to the pandemic has been rightly managed at UK level. Our current focus, and the focus of many of those who would give evidence to an inquiry, remains on tackling the ongoing public health emergency.
