WELSH nationalist leader Rhun ap Iorwerth accused First Minister Vaughan Gething of perjury at the UK Covid inquiry during a rowdy First Minister’s Questions today.

The Plaid Cymru leader made the claim after a press story alleged that Mr Gething misled the UK Covid Inquiry and the Senedd by concealing that he deliberately deleted records of conversations he had with other ministers.

The First Minister had told the Covid inquiry that messages had been deleted from his mobile phone when it was serviced by the Senedd’s IT department.
