Deal between Labour and Tories could see Welsh Parliament probe gaps in UK Covid-19 inquiry.
should "aspects of the Covid experience" in Wales "not receive sufficient attention by the Hallett inquiry".The motion establishes a special purpose committee, which will identify any gaps in UK inquiry reports "in the preparedness and response of the Welsh government and other Welsh public bodies".Any reviews would not be the full public inquiry that campaigners have hoped for.
Conservative leader in the Senedd Andrew RT Davies said: "The Welsh Conservatives have been pushing for an independent Welsh Covid inquiry, to cover all bases and ensure that bereaved families get the answers they deserve. We will not give up on our calls to ensure this takes place.A Welsh government spokesperson said: "The pandemic touched the lives of everyone in Wales, especially those many families who lost a loved one.
"It is right that the decisions taken by the Welsh government and Welsh public bodies are openly and properly scrutinised. We continue to believe the best way to do that is through the UK Covid-19 inquiry. "However, as the UK Covid-19 inquiry moves through each of its modules, this special purpose committee will allow the Senedd to determine whether there are any gaps in relation to Wales' preparedness and response and whether further and specific scrutiny needs to be undertaken."
