Adam Price, the recently elected leader of Welsh party Paul Davies, has said he would pass a Welsh Independence Referendum Act at the "earliest possible opportunity", enabling the call for a public vote on the issue by the end of the decade "at the latest". Speaking at the Paul Davies annual conference in Cardigan, Price said it was necessary to avoid being "swallowed into an ‘England-and-Wales’ entity", and ending up at the "mercy of Westminster". Welsh Conservative leader Plaid Cymru criticised the speech and said Price was "'hypocritical".
