Plaid Cymru say that Welsh Tory leader Andrew RT Davies' decision to vote to leave the EU "is jeopardising the future of our rural communities".

Plaid Cymru AM, Rhodri Glyn Thomas, said: "Once again the Tories are split on an issue of crucial importance to Wales's future, economy and well being.

"By campaigning to leave the EU the leader of the Welsh conservatives is putting almost 200,000 jobs in Wales at risk. Furthermore as the EU is worth over £400m in funding and trade for farmers, he is jeopardising the future of our rural communities.

"Plaid Cymru believes that Wales's best interests will be served as a member of a reformed and improved EU."
