'Risk' over keeping pubs open in Wales due to England lockdownpublished at 12:43 Greenwich Mean Time 2 November 2020
Wales' First Minister Mark Drakeford has said keeping pubs open could create a "risk" along the border between England and Wales, due to England's new lockdown rules.
Asked when hospitality businesses would hear about measures from 9 November, he said: "I don't want to keep those places closed."
But he said Boris Johnson's decision does "create a different context".
"If pubs are closed along the border in England there is bound to be a risk," he said.
"Because pubs here will be open and serving alcohol.
"I don't want our police forces to be diverted to having to police the border."
