INDEPENDENCE campaigners hit back today at Welsh Conservative claims that devolution of the crown estates would not be in the best interests of Wales.

Plaid Cymru Westminster leader Liz Saville Roberts was responding to Tory criticism of her demand for Wales’s devolved government to be given control of crown properties worth billions.

Shadow Welsh Conservative minister Janet Finch-Saunders had criticised the demand for devolution of the crown estates as causing uncertainty and said: “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.”
