One of Welsh Labour’s most senior figures in the early years of devolution has accused successive Welsh governments of failing to deliver the economic benefits the Senedd was intended to bring to Wales.

Andrew Davies was part of the core team that organised Labour’s campaign in the 1997 referendum that resulted in the creation of the National Assembly two years later. He was elected to be the first Assembly Member for Swansea West and later served as Economy Minister.

He left the Assembly in 2011 and is now an honorary professor at Swansea University.
