The secretary of state for Wales is being investigated by police over a leaflet to constituents which campaigners claimed created a “hostile environment” for gypsies and travellers.

Gwent Police was called in over a leaflet distributed in David T. C. Davies’s Monmouth constituency in response to the local Labour-controlled council’s plans to build a site for gypsies and travellers.
