Responding to the Vale of Glamorgan Council voting in favour of devolving the Crown Estate assets to Wales, Andrew RT Davies MS, Senedd Member for South Wales Central and former Leader of the Welsh Conservatives, said:
“Most Vale residents will see this vote as completely out of touch.
“It’s not the business of the Vale Council to call for further devolution, which most people in Wales are against anyway.
“But, more importantly, in all my years of politics, I’ve never knocked a door and been told by someone that their priority is the devolution of the Crown Estate.
“Likewise, in all my years of helping constituents, I’ve never been unable to help somebody as a result of the constitutional status of Crown Estate assets.
“The Council should spend less time on these fringe issues and more time working to set a lower council tax rate so hardworking Vale residents can stop being used as cash cows.”
