FM faces grilling over donation to his leadership campaign
Vaughan Gething, at Cardiff University, after being elected as the next Welsh Labour leader and First Minister of Wales, March 16, 2024

VAUGHAN GETHING faced a fresh grilling at First Minister’s Questions today over his links to an environmental company at the heart of a donation to his Welsh Labour leadership campaign.

Welsh Conservative leader Andrew Davies raised the issue of a landfill site at Withyhedge where residents find the odour unbearable and public health warnings have been issued.

Mr Davies said that the First Minister needed to register a conflict of interest, as this landfill site is run by a subsidiary of Dauson Environmental Group, whose owner David Neal gave the donation of £200,000 to Mr Gething’s leadership campaign.
