First Minister should be clear about devolution future - Plaid

Plaid Cymru has criticised comments by Shadow Welsh Secretary Owen Smith about the future of devolution in tonight's Face to Face programme. Mr Smith says there should be joint decision-making by Wales and England in important areas like Higher Education funding and social care.

But Plaid's Rhodri Glyn Thomas claims the remarks show there's still an anti-devolution strain in the Labour party.

Ieuan's last day

It's not the most controversial motion ever to be debated in the Senedd but that's not why Plaid Cymru have tabled it. It's more a salute to the man who has led them since 2000. The Assembly is being asked to agree that it:

Welcomes the progress made in securing enhanced devolved powers resulting from the successful referendum in 2011; recognises the widespread support for further devolution; and looks forward to further advances in the devolution of powers, including fiscal responsibility.

The idea is to provide a platform for Ieuan Wyn Jones to give his final speech as party leader and if opposition politicians are so inclined to join Plaid Cymru AMs in singing his praises.
