Asghar calls for transparency on air link subsidy

National Assembly Member Mohammad Asghar has called upon the Welsh Assembly Government to publish the level of subsidy given to the air link between Cardiff and Anglesey.

During a debate brought forward by the Liberal Democrats in the Senedd, Mr Asghar said that he considered it troubling that the level of public funding spent on subsidising the north-south link had not been published.

The South Wales East AM said: “I join my colleagues in calling upon officials to disclose immediately the amount of public funding that is being spent on the subsidised link.

“Only then … can we have a proper discussion on the worth of this subsidy and of the air link.

“The Welsh Assembly Government is showing a worrying lack of transparency in the use of taxpayers’ money.”
