Labour urged to return donation given to Vaughan Gething’s campaign

Welsh first minister accepted money from firm whose owner was convicted of environmental crimes

The Labour party is coming under increasing pressure to return money donated to the new Welsh first minister by a company whose owner was convicted of environmental crimes.

Opposition politicians in Wales said Labour must not use money left over from Vaughan Gething’s successful campaign to become first minister and argued it was now a matter for the UK party rather than just Welsh Labour.
