WELSH independence supporters have welcomed a new constitutional report finding devolution as it stands is “not sustainable” — and that independence is a viable option.

The cross-party Independent Constitutional Commission set out three options including enhanced devolution, federalism and independence that it said could secure the future of Wales, but declined to say which solution it favoured.

The Welsh government set up the commission in August 2021 with a cross-party membership under co-chairs Professor Laura McAllister and former Archbishop of Canterbury Doctor Rowan Willams.
