Vaughan Gething makes 'serious journalist' jibe over donation

Vaughan Gething has said "every serious journalist" would know that a £200,000 donation his campaign received from a company run by a man convicted of environmental offences could not be returned.

The leaders of both Plaid Cymru and the Welsh Conservatives have suggested Mr Gething, who is set to be nominated as Wales' first minister, should return the money.

But when asked about this by BBC Journalist Teleri Glyn Jones on Politics Wales, Mr Gething said: "This is a little bit frustrating, because every serious journalist knows that, in your constituency, you are not entitled to make decisions as a minister.

"The way that the story has been run, with a suggestion that something must be going on - actually it's impossible for me to do that."

Asked if he would return the donation, he said: "No. We've done nothing outside of the rules. There's nothing wrong with what we've done."
