Aberfan Inquiry[edit]

It seems he had a role as a lawyer in the Aberfan Inquiry. Would the article benefit from more on this. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.85.63.162 (talk) 13:32, 22 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

This is already mentioned in the Career section. What should we add to this? Verbcatcher (talk) 15:01, 22 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Political allegiances?[edit]

It is interestingly mentioned he was approached to be an MP, told he could become Prime Minister, and that a safe seat would be found for him - but the reader is left wondering from what political party did this come, and whom did he normally support?Cloptonson (talk) 21:37, 22 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Caerphilly County Borough[edit]

Caerphilly County Borough "was formed on 1 April 1996 by the merger of the Rhymney Valley district of Mid Glamorgan with the Islwyn borough of Gwent.". Watkins was born in Nelson in 1918, 78 years before the borough was created. So I'm not sure it can be claimed he was "from Caerphilly County Borough"? Thanks.
