Responding to the resignation of the Prime Minister David Cameron, Leader of the Welsh Conservatives Andrew RT Davies said:

“The whole Conservative Party, and indeed the country, owe David Cameron a great debt of gratitude for his leadership in opposition and as Prime Minister for the last six years.

“At the Government’s helm, he has succeeded in transforming the nation’s economic wellbeing and in strengthening national security – both of which have helped empower tens of millions of people to succeed in life.

“Whilst he and I have disagreed on the issue of EU membership, it has been a privilege as a fellow Conservative to work with David Cameron to secure a brighter future for the people of Wales and the rest of the UK.”
