Health minister Eluned Morgan has been banned from driving after being caught speeding.
WALES’ health minister Eluned Morgan has been banned from driving for six months after being caught speeding.
Ms Morgan, 54, was caught by a manned speed camera speeding in the 30mph zone of the A525 on June 17 last year.
She admitted speeding, and was fined £800 at Mold Magistrates’ Court on Wednesday, March 16.
The minister was also ordered to pay £90 in costs and an £80 surcharge.
She was also banned from driving for six months, due to accumulating too many penalty points.
In a statement, Ms Morgan said: “I have pleaded guilty to a charge of speeding and fully accept the punishment of the court.
“This is not something I am proud of and I apologise unreservedly.”
