Following his election last week to be Chair of the Welsh Affairs Committee, David T C Davies MP said:
“I am delighted to be elected the new Chair of the Welsh Affairs Committee. My priority is to work in the interests of Wales with colleagues from across the political spectrum.
“I look forward to working with colleagues in building on the good scrutiny work of the previous Committee and continuing to hold ministers to account.

Mr Davies will take up the position formally when the remaining members of the Committee are nominated by the House in the coming weeks
