First Minister blasted for 'wasting time' on Tata visit to Mumbai (nation.cymru)

The First Minister has been accused of “wasting time” on a trip to Mumbai to urge Tata Steel bosses to “look again” at plans to shut blast furnaces in Port Talbot.

Vaughan Gething visited India last week to plead with Tata Steel to wait for a Labour government before shutting off its blast furnaces and making thousands of job cuts.

The First Minister was criticised for the 9,000 mile round trip given that Tata’s bosses were in the UK just two weeks before.

Nation.Cymru asked the Welsh Government for details of the cost of the trip and how long the First Minister was in India for before flying back – but we did not receive an answer.

It’s understood that several Freedom of Information Requests have been submitted asking for details of the cost and timeframe of the visit.
