Commenting on the news that the Labour Welsh Government's gender quota Bill for elections is set to be withdrawn following a confirmatory vote in the Senedd, Welsh Conservative Shadow Minister for the Constitution, Darren Millar MS said:
"This decision was inevitable given the legal challenges that would have ensued if Labour had tried to force through these divisive election quotas.
"The Welsh Conservatives have always favoured candidate selection based on merit and by the voters.
"But if the Labour Welsh Government was serious about focussing on the people's priorities, they would scrap their Senedd expansion plans altogether and end their obsession with creating more politicians as opposed to doctors and nurses in the Welsh NHS."
