Episode: Jim Griffiths: First Secretary of State for Wales
Description: In the week that a commemorative bust of Jim Griffiths MP goes on display in the Senedd, we speak to biographer D. Ben Rees and political commentator Theo Davies-Lewis about his life and the battles he fought within and without the Labour Party to create the role of Secretary of State for Wales inside the UK Government cabinet. We also look to the future of the role to debate whether it could or should have a future in the era of Welsh self-government and a significantly more powerful and empowered First Minister.
