Commenting on the appointment of former Prime Minister Gordon Brown to the Welsh Government’s advisory group on recovering from Covid-19, Darren Millar AM, who is leading on Covid-19 recovery for the Welsh Conservatives, said:
“The last thing that people in Wales need during this time of unprecedented crisis is another dose of Gordon Brown.
“Few in Wales have fond memories of his thankfully short premiership and harking back to the past is not going to solve the challenges of the present and propel Wales into the future.
“I'm also disappointed to see the Welsh Government politicising it's Covid-19 Recovery Group; instead of wheeling out a Labour Party has-been the Welsh Government would do better to prioritise representatives from the business and transport sectors to help advise on how we can get our economy moving again once it is safe to do so.”
