Liberal Democrat MP for Brecon, Radnor and Cwm Tawe David Chadwick has been elected to sit on the powerful Welsh Affairs Select Committee in Westminster.

Mr Chadwick’s election to the group will see the Welsh Liberal Democrats have a voice on the Committee for the first time since 2017.

The Welsh Affairs Select Committee works cross-party to examine the expenditure, administration and policy of the Wales Office, in addition to UK Government policy that affects Wales, and its relationship with the Senedd.

Commenting on his election to the committee, David Chadwick MP said:

“I am delighted that there will once again be a Welsh Liberal Democrat voice on the Welsh Affairs Committee, providing much-needed scrutiny to this Government and the Wales Office, as well as working cross-party to help come up with solutions to the most pressing problems across Wales.

“I look forward to using my voice and position to work for a better future for all of Wales and to making sure the needs of those in my own constituency are heard whether that’s those in rural Powys or those in the Upper Swansea Valley.

“For too long Wales has been an afterthought of successive UK Governments, I will be working with other Members to ensure that this is not the case in the future and to argue for the funding needed to deliver meaningful change for the Welsh people.”
