Question
Does the Welsh Government have any plans to intervene to guarantee the future of the Ospreys rugby club?
Answer
Answered by Trefnydd, Chief Whip and Cabinet Minister for Culture and Sport (Heledd Fychan)
The WRU is an independent organisation and decisions on the future of the sport are entirely its responsibility.
Whilst Welsh Ministers do not have any powers to intervene, we have advocated that the WRU needs to make any decisions with transparency and accountability and have regard for the implications that their decisions have on the communities impacted by any proposed changes.
