Welsh First Minister faces calls to back grooming gang inquiry Opposition MSs have called for the Welsh First Minister to back an inquiry into grooming gangs, in a tense exchange in the Senedd.
“They want to know that justice will be served against the perpetrators of these crimes, but they can only have those assurances if we know the full extent of the problems that we have here in Wales and the actions which are being taken by everybody to address them.”.
“It’s really disappointing that this issue has been politicised to a point where people working for humanitarian organisations and children in school feel threatened, and I really hope we can tone down the rhetoric on this issue.”.
Speaking during First Minister’s Questions on Tuesday, he said: “We know that people up and down Wales are talking about this issue.
Darren Millar, the leader of the Welsh Conservatives, repeatedly asked Eluned Morgan if she will support a national or Wales-wide inquiry.
