WELSH Labour leader Mark Drakeford pledged yesterday to create a new medical school in north Wales and boost the region’s environment and cultural sectors as part of a multibillion-pound investment.

Mr Drakeford was speaking during a visit to Wrexham with British Labour Party leader Sir Keir Starmer during campaigning for May’s Senedd election.

“We have set aside a £15 billion capital investment programme, which we will use to create jobs right across north Wales and the rest of the country,” said Mr Drakeford.
