The Welsh Conservatives have just issued this statement:
"Alun Cairns has been reinstated as the Welsh Conservatives’ Parliamentary candidate for the Vale of Glamorgan, the party announced this afternoon.
Mr Cairns has also been appointed Shadow Local Government Minister in the National Assembly by Opposition leader Nick Bourne.
Commenting on his re-instatement Alun Cairns said:
“I am pleased this issue has been resolved and hope people will now judge me on my actions.
“I know I have a huge amount of work to do in the Vale of Glamorgan and look forward to working with the community to explain how Conservative policies can make a positive difference to their lives.
“I am also looking forward to resuming frontbench duties in the Assembly and to holding the Labour-Plaid Cymru government to account for the woefully inadequate way in which it is funding councils across Wales next year.”"
