MP accuses government of cover up over St Athan
MP accuses government of cover up Wrekin MP Mark Pritchard has accused the government of covering up problems around the proposed Defence Training Acedemy in St Athan, Wales. The Wrekin MP challenged Wales Secretary Paul Murphy in the commons yesterday to give a “100 percent guarantee” that the project was safe. His intervention came after the Ministry of Defence’s decision to strip Metrix, the consortium which won the St Athan contract, of its preferred bidder status for running the second phase of the defence training shake-up....There are clearly infrastructure problems in delivering the remaining defence training package as well as the constant squabbling between the Welsh Assembly, local authorities and the MOD.
