He argued that confusion over holding a referendum on any deal had led to "electoral catastrophe", after Labour's share of the vote fell to 14%.

Shropshire Council’s leader, Peter Nutting, said he was "absolutely confident" the dualling of the road between Montford Bridge and Ruabon would go ahead.

He is working with colleagues on the Welsh side of the border on the plans, with the Assembly keen to bring economic benefits to both sides of the border.

Mr Nutting said he was delighted full council signed off the government’s £54.4m funding for the Shrewsbury North West Relief Road last week.

And he said once that had been agreed and work had begun, attention would turn fully to the dualling project. It is the only section of the A5, which runs between London and Holyhead, to be single carriageway.

German safety body TUV Rheinland was in 2017 found liable over the global PIP implant scandal and ordered to make the payouts to victims by a French court.

The firm has begun an appeal and some 13,000 victims awarded compensation have been issued legal papers.

TUV Rheinland said it had been forced to send papers directly to victims' homes as the legal team representing them had failed to register with the court, in compliance with French law.

Stephanie Wendy Lee (pictured), from Kidderminster, had the implants in 2008 and has been served papers from the French courts.
