flag Wales’ deputy first minister faces scrutiny over claims the greyhound racing ban was a political deal in the 2025/26 budget.

flag Huw Irranca-Davies, Wales’ deputy first minister, is under scrutiny for claims that the planned greyhound racing ban was a political trade-off in the 2025/26 budget deal with the Liberal Democrats. flag During a Senedd session, Labour’s Alun Davies cited the budget agreement as evidence of a link, challenging Irranca-Davies’ assertion that the ban was driven solely by animal welfare concerns. flag Irranca-Davies maintained the legislation was based on ethical issues and a pre-existing public consultation, separate from budget talks. flag Davies countered that no prior proposals existed and criticized the lack of impact assessments before banning a legal activity, raising concerns about transparency and policy independence.
