THE Welsh government is refusing to disclose the cost of Vaughan Gething’s luxury-class trip to India and five-star hotel stay for a two-and-a-half hour meeting with Tata bosses last month.

The First Minister’s embattled administration claimed that it was not in the public interest to reveal the information, adding that it would be published in April next year.

Mr Gething flew to Mumbai with Virgin, travelling “upper class,” and returned with British Airways, in business class, with three members of government staff. They all stayed at the swanky Taj Lands End hotel in the suburb of Bandra West.
