The leader of the Welsh Conservatives Andrew RT Davies has unveiled his new Shadow Cabinet in the Senedd on Thursday.


The party finished second in May's Senedd election, achieving its best ever result.


Mr. RT Davies has given prominent roles to some of the party's newly elected MSs including Natasha Asghar, who will take on the role of Shadow Minister for Transport and Technology.

Another new addition, former Sir Fynwy council Chief Executive Peter Fox has been given the role of Shadow Minister for Finance.
