Plaid MS broke Senedd rules over letter leak

A Plaid Cymru MS has been found by a politicians' watchdog to have broken the Senedd members' code of conduct.

However, the report by the watchdog recommends "no further action is required" against Siân Gwenllian, the member for Arfon.

She was found to have shared extracts from a confidential letter sent by the Senedd's Commissioner for Standards, Douglas Bain, to an individual who had complained about her.

But the Senedd's standards of conduct committee agrees with the watchdog that the politician "shared this information in order to defend herself from inaccurate reports being made about inadmissible complaints".
