The leader of the opposition in the Senedd has written to inquiry chair Baroness Hallett. The inquiry says it is considering whether to call Mr Gething to give further evidence.
Wales's first minister Vaughan Gething has said he is 'entirely relaxed' after being accused of misleading the UK COVID Inquiry. Nation.Cymru reported on Tuesday that Mr Gething sent a text message in which he said 'I'm deleting the messages in this group'. 'They can be captured in an FOI and I think we are all in the right place on the choice being made,' the message added.
The data from his first Senedd phone was initially transferred to his second, Mr Gething said. In June 2022, he returned his second phone to the Senedd for maintenance and it was rebuilt. Mr Gething said in his written evidence to the inquiry that the phone's content was backed up to the iCloud linked to his personal Apple ID. 'My iCloud has been checked and it does not have WhatsApp or text messages stored prior to June 2022,' he said.
