PRESSURE continued to grow over the donations to Vaughan Gething’s leadership campaign as First Minister’s Questions were again dominated by the row today.

A BBC Wales documentary broadcast on Monday evening, A Big Stink, revealed that the company at the centre of the donation storm was under a new criminal investigation.

The programme alleged that Natural Resouces Wales is conducting a criminal investigation into a firm controlled by millionaire businessman David Neal, who gave donations totalling £200,000 to Mr Gething’s leadership campaign.
