Mark Drakeford has dramatically criticised the Welsh government’s decision to scrap changes to the school holiday.

The Welsh government earlier announced that plans to cut the summer school holiday had been shelved until the next Senedd election.

Visibly angry and addressing his remarks at education secretary Lynne Neagle, he said he regretted the “political damage” the decision would cause to Wales.

In response she told the former first minister: “You cannot have a consultation and then just ignore that consultation.”

It comes a day before his successor, Vaughan Gething, will face a crucial no confidence vote in the Senedd.
