NATIONALIST leader Rhun ap Iorwerth set out his vision for independence in a major speech tonight but said steps to strengthen Wales must be taken immediately.

The Plaid Cymru leader was responding to the independent Commission on the Constitutional Future of Wales report published two weeks ago.

Mr ap Iorwerth welcomed the report which he said was groundbreaking as it included independence as a viable option for the first time in an official Welsh government-commissioned report.
