Former Welsh Government minister Alun Davies drank glasses of wine with Tory leader Paul Davies, chief whip Darren Millar (pictured) and the party’s chief of staff Paul Smith in a Senedd tearoom A Labour politician has been suspended after he and a group of Conservative members including the party’s leader were found to have consumed alcohol at the Welsh Parliament premises. Former Welsh Government minister Alun Davies drank glasses of wine with Tory leader Paul Davies, chief whip Darren Millar and the party’s chief of staff Paul Smith in a Senedd tearoom. The incident happened on December 8, four days after pubs were forced to stop selling alcohol under the Welsh Labour-led government rules to help prevent the spread of coronavirus, although off-licences were allowed to sell alcohol until 10pm.
Mr Davies has now had the whip removed from him by the Senedd Labour Group. A spokesman for the group said: “A member has been suspended from the privileges of Senedd Labour Group membership while an investigation takes place into this alleged incident.” Mr Davies said the Senedd Commission had already confirmed to him that he did not breach coronavirus regulations. He said: “I am very sorry if my actions have given the impression that I am in any way not committed to upholding the regulations which I have consistently supported throughout the last year. “For context, the purpose of this meeting from my perspective was to seek to persuade the Welsh Conservatives to support my proposal for a Welsh Hearts Bill which the Senedd endorsed on 21 October and to make a commitment to enact this life-saving legislation in their manifesto for May’s election.
