Ahead of today’s Wales-wide lockdown, the Shadow Minister for Covid Recovery, Darren Millar MS, has called for urgent clarity from the Welsh Labour-led Government.

Mr Millar said: “With just hours to go until the Wales-wide lockdown begins, confusion is rife the length and breadth of Wales.

“Supermarkets, convenience stores and other shops have no idea which goods the Welsh Labour-led Government regards as non-essential so that they can restrict them from sale.

“‘The First Minister is turning into a tin-pot dictator; he had an opportunity to clear this matter up at his press conference today but has failed to do so.

“Making last minute diktats is irresponsible; Ministers must issue guidance immediately so that businesses and the public know where they stand.”

He added:

“Ministers also need to set out their plans for when this lockdown ends.”
