Available for over a year

On Monday it was announced that the Swansea Bay tidal lagoon has been scrapped by the UK Government because the £1.3bn price tag is not value for money. Local politicians and community leaders criticized the decision, with some claiming the people of Wales "have been betrayed again". On BBC Radio Wales, Dot Davies spoke to Tonia Antoniazzi, Labour MP for Gower, who is part of a group of politicians who issued a joint statement calling on Alun Cairns to "consider his position" - calls which Mr Cairns has rejected.
