It’s day two of the final week of the UK Covid Inquiry in Wales, with more ministers set to take the stand.

  • Following yesterday’s grilling of Labour leadership contender Vaughan Gething, first up today will be Eluned Morgan, who took over from him as health minister in May 2021
  • It will then be the turn of Rebecca Evans, minister for finance since 2018 and local government since 2021
  • This will be followed by evidence from Gething’s competitor in the leadership race, Jeremy Miles who was the counsel general (law officer) and minister for European integration during the pandemic, before being appointed education minister in May 2021. He was also tasked with Covid recovery
  • It comes ahead of Wednesday’s finale, when First Minister Mark Drakeford will be under the limelight just days before he steps down
