Speaking after the announcement today (May 29) from the First Minister on the Welsh Government’s plan to ease lockdown restrictions, Darren Millar MS, the Welsh Conservative Spokesperson for Covid Recovery, said:
“Now that we have more detail on the First Minister’s plan, it’s clear that his roadmap to easing lockdown is more confusing than Spaghetti Junction.
“First it was being able to visit people within a five-mile radius, then we were told that this is a ‘rule of thumb’ and that we should ‘use our judgement’.
“We would support the Welsh Government’s policy, if it met the needs of the people of Wales. However, it is a cruel rule that lacks compassion and is confusing, and it doesn’t acknowledge the straightforward common sense of Wales’ residents.
“So, today we are telling the First Minister and his Labour colleagues to scrap this cruel rule before it is introduced on Monday.“
