Labour have let down former Welsh steel workers says Plaid

LABOUR have let down former workers from Tata Steel's plant in Port Talbot, an MP has claimed, as she said the Government did not know how many redundant employees from the steelworks in South Wales it has helped retrain.

Liz Saville Roberts, who leads Plaid Cymru in Westminster, said two Government departments reported it did not know how many staff had accessed a fund established to help 2,500 workers who were made redundant last year.

The plant's final two blast furnaces were shut amid claims they were losing money - one in July and another after the general election in September.

The departments also said they had no information on how many grants were awarded from the Employment and Skills Flexible Fund or if any training providers had received funding from it.
